Please let me know if you had heard of this book before.
It is a book about Koi varieties and their diseases. It is put out by Shinkokai Japan.

Ah, awesome! so it must be an awesome book.
Definetly a good book to have.
My friend got it somewhere in the Tokyo/kawasaki area. I really wish I knew where she got it. but if its from shinkokai, it could be from anywhere.
