Reader's note

When this book was first published in 1948 it was greeted with a chorus of praise. Brian Vesey-FitzGerald the eminent naturalist described it as 'a superb book' and Professor Gunther Sterba, of Leipzig University, as 'a work of outstanding scholarship.' In 1981, this remained the most complete and authoritative book on the goldfish. The authors, both experienced aquarium keepers, give full particulars about the keeping and rearing of goldfish in aquaria and ponds as well as covering their subject anatomically, historically and artistically. For edition, the txt was carefully revised and takes into account new ideas and practices which emerged since the revised edition in 1968. Filled with beautiful and detailed drawings throughout, see how the standards of 1981 compare to today in this incredible vintage book.
