Up until about 6 months ago you could still get this book new from Amazon and elsewhere. Seems now that it is only available as a used book. If you wanted a copy and never got one then you might want to start looking (Amazon has 4 used copies listed as of last night). This book is great for those of you that have mastered keeping your koi alive and now want to learn more about the art of nishikigoi. It covers all the basics(skin quality, conformation, pattern etc) for the major varieties of koi.
