4.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent book for the beginner, 24 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This book starts with the consideration of where and how to build your pond. Continues into the buying of your Koi stock and how to feed and look after them. A comprehensive section on the deseases involved and which medication to use in each case. The book also gives the Japanese and English translations for the different varieties of Koi. All the photographs are in brilliant colours.

A WORTHWHILE ADDITION TO YOUR BOOKSHELF.
