Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐My anti-anxiety service Koi are part of my essential being – when they hurt, I hurt. Although we’ve coexisted alongside each other for years now, I feel that getting back to basics with Koi Kare (LOL) is a great way to reset the clocks and maybe forget some of the aspects that initially excited me about Koi in the first place. Highly recommend this book to the dummy, beginner, or expert Koi owner. Koi Boiz, unite!

⭐This is a great reference book for those who are just getting started and those that have been at it for years, like me. It’s easy to find out what you want to know and written in a way that’s easy to understand. I’d recommend it to anyone that’s raising koi.

⭐Best book for beginner’s, I’ve learned so much from this book,. Thanks

⭐A lot of information very easy to understand

⭐Love this book

⭐I have 4 large natural bottom ponds and this book has nothing but caring for these fish in artificial ponds. Maybe I just didn’t research this book well enough, but it does have a good deal of understandable information in it.

⭐Like the title says….its s book for dummies trying to learn about koi fish and ponds. It’s exactly that. My new go to reference for info on my koi.

⭐I usually like the Dummies books but this one wasn’t what I was looking for. There was too much focus on things like pond design and building and not enough on caring for koi, which is what I needed. Fortunately, Amazon has a terrific return policy so they rate 5 stars.

⭐My husband has built a pond and this book is very informative.

⭐Helped me a lot with learning my new hobby great book would recommend

⭐No color pictures (although it says on its backcover that it has some).Everything is in black & white with some poor quality drawings. Poor content and difficult to read, even for Dummies.Waste of money – do not buy.If you want a really nice book with good pictures and good content, buy:Mini Encyclopedia of Keeping Koi

⭐I bought this for my Dad who as inherited a Koi pond with his new house. He said that it has been an interesting and educational read with no-fuss instructions on how to keep Koi if you’re a beginner. He would highly recommend.

⭐This book is an excellent introduction to Koi. It builds up knowledge in a thorough but easy to digest format and is definitely one of the better ‘for dummies’ books we have in the house. With the usual ‘for dummies’ humour punctuating it, it is an actual reference book and one that will be used again in future.
