And now, with the extremely clear and complete instructions in this practical, hands-on guide, a backyard water garden is easier than ever to build and maintain.

A quick reference book for anything having to do with a fish pond, that is what I was looking for. In addition it has beautiful pictures and very good explanation. Thank you!
This book has a lot of good information about plants and fish which is great, however it fairly glosses over the main reason I purchased it, which was to get detailed information about pond construction. Also, for being a recently published book, I was extremely surprised to not see any mention of modern back-washable pressurized bead filters. Get something else if you need detailed pond building information.
inside this book give me a lot of information about how to build a good some water garden.
