Val and I are over the moon tonight weve just done a deal on what has to be about the best Q&A books on koi ever written we got it for the some of £50.00 it's in mint condition as new they normally retail at one hell of alott more than that, at £89.99 or above as this is a promotional price from the only stockist in the UK
The chap weve bought it from it appears is giving up the hobby to pursue another hobby that takes up all of his time

Thanx Charles yes it is a good price , I acctually talked the chap down £10.00 from £60.00 if what I've read and heard about this book is true then we have quite a gem of a book here and we are both looking forwards to getting it.
In researching the price I found another koi book that we must have and is now on our wish list :-

So I look forwards to reporting that weve added it to our collection in the next few months :cool:
Your thoughts on it please Charles

The book arrived yesterday Charles and the whole book just reek's class from the paper its been printed on to the photo',s illustrations and graphs.
Taking you on the journey of Nishikigio from the very start of Nishikigio, though its many pitfalls then its truimphs right the way through Nishikigio to this very day .:cool:
The book is very well laid out in a Q&A format throughout , I must admit to being quite taken aback by the size of the book thinking it was somewhat smaller than it is :eek:
I've been into the book every chance I get in between chores and looking after Val who is just recovering from her latest fall :(thanx to a badly designed new UPVC front door which hopefully after contacting the occupational therapist will quickly be rectified and put to rights :)
