"the ultimate British koi" according to Amazon Customer. for 25.oo i was disappointed in the book the sections of filtering were not up to date not much on additivesseems to be an opinionated upper crust British who sees things his wayhe doesnt understand why every one can't afford a 5000 gallon concrete pond.and multiple filters. i guess what i wanted was THE AFFORDABLE KOI BOOK with pictures on how to buy better koi , ie why some are better than others how to keep the green in your wallet and out of the pondwasn't this book..
