3.0 out of 5 stars Its a good book on buying koi and classifying them, August 4, 1998

By A Customer

Its a good book and helps you pick out koi and how to make sure u get an aathentic koi. it dosen't really have enough information for first time keepers. It went very in deepth about how much to feed koi with a chart to see how much to feed them. it needs more on keeping them. I wasn't entirely happy with the book. it didn't have anything about breeding them and i found myself lost for i am a first time keeper of the fish. is a good book for people who are experianced and just want some more imformation. but if your a first time keepeer i recommend not buying this book.
