What does that hack know? 
Let me guess. Are you
THE Steve?
If so, your the reason why I am trying to get a hold of the first issue of KOI USA 2007.
Also, I now know who to blame when the bill comes for the 2 year subscription and the Boss asks me what this is about. Let me see how does she get a hold of you...?
If you have any other suggestions on where to look for the softcover please let me know. I think I have already scored bonus points with her by reading the back copies of Koi USA while sitting next to her.
What?
How can I be sitting next to her reading
AND be at the computer. I can't she went to the store. So, as long as the kids don't give me up I am O.K.

Gotta go I think I hear the garage door...

Try
USA Koi - One of the largest selections of Japan's most premier Koi "usakoi.com" for the soft cover of Koi Kichi...still the best overall koi book on the market IMHO. I paid $125 new for the hard cover and was worth well more than that over the years...still keep one of the 2 copies I have right here next to me at the pc.

I just tried that site and they don't have Koi Kichi in hard or softcover for sale. But thanks for the tip.
