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. |

Vince,
As you are doing your research, please keep in mind that there are many ways tyo do a Koi pond correctly...just as there are many bad ways. Often times people get caught up in taking "the best" from varying design styles, attempting to incorporate them into a new "system." This can often times result is less than desired performance if considerations are not given into how each of these fits with the other components of the different design style.
As someone already stated, and as coined by Peter Waddington, Koi ponds are expensive, but building it correctly the first time is far cheaper than having to redo it time and time again.
