WOW!!!
You guys are full of great ideas

.I hope they keep coming.
I took Mike M.'s advice, I actually ordered a 2 yr. subscription to KoiUSA. Unforunately, the 1st issue will not arrive until 6-8 weeks from now

. Funny thing is they are located in Escondido Calif. only 5 mins. up the freeway from me. I wish I could just go pick them up.
As for the obtaining the 3 earlier issues(Jan/Feb,Mar/Apr,May/June) from 2007 I called the number they gave me and left a message. Hopefully I can get these sooner. I will try some of the local pond stores to see if they have any back copies.
Great idea about the AKCA pamphlet. I'll check their web site.
"
Koi2Kichi - skip amazon etc and go straight to source eg :- Peter Waddington Infiltration - Exclusively Koi - Home and order off him in the UK"
Great idea,however,they cannot export the book to the USA. They suggested KoiUSA.com, but their site didn't have the soft cover available for sale. Any other suggestions on where to look for the soft cover?
Thanks for the heads up on the DVD idea too. Couldn't have come at a more appropriate time since we are about to purchase a new one.
Thanks to all of you,
Vince
