Glad you got the book Grasshoppa.... Eastern Nishikigoi is a
very good resource. It would be fun to see your face as you discover new horizons....Enjoy it, treasure it, read it, learn it, know it, live it,
keep it. You are on your way.

... A big "next" aha will be someday if you have the chance to meet "The Great One".... In Japan. At Nomole's. Now THAT is really something.
This book truely is the bible of koi for many, if not all, world class koi keepers. Treat it as such and you have the chance to be counted among them someday. Since published, it's principle's and information have been proven true time and again.
