Greg,
I have subscribed to all of the koi magazines over the years. I will have one "subscription" left in 2005. It will be KB. I hope you find the
rate affordable for your budget, but i have to tell you objectively that
this mnagazine is worth more than it's price!
There are a lot of magazines in the UK which are far cheaper, but you learn bugger all from them. This mag you learn from every copy. Always interesting articles, which are thought provoking and make you ask even more questions.
Personally I love the in-depth interviews, which go on for ever, but answer the questions we all would like to ask.
Another thing I might add is that if you look at the amount of pages of "REAL" articles in the Koi-Bito and then look at many of the competitors you will find that after you remove all the "info-mercials" that Koi-Bito offers more than twice the amount of information these other mags do.
