Review:
My hardback copy does indeed contain many great photographs, but with the book being published in 1989 they are now rather dated. True, the genetics of guppy breeding are well covered, but I feel that later publications now cover the subject better, again the illustrations are dated. All in all a good book to have in your library, but not at some of the prices now being asked on Amazon.
