Oliver Knott is a world-renowned aquascaper who has won multiple awards from AGA and IAPLC competitions.

This gorgeous hardcover book details Knott's experiences of traveling to Japan and interning at Amano's famous ADA Nature Aquarium Gallery. Each book is signed by the author and contains exclusive photos from his personal collection.

I've never seen a book shipped more perfectly!

I cannot wait to spend time reading this book - from first glance it looks awesome! Whoever decided how to package this book for shipping deserves a raise - the book itself was bubble wrapped, wrapped in paper, boxed, then placed into a larger box with the rest of my order. I've received so many damaged books from online sellers but am beyond pleased with the Co-op (as usual).

Beautiful Book for Aquascaping Nerds

If you're an aquarist with more than a passing interest in planted tanks and aquascaping... i.e. if the name Takashi Amano rings a bell (yes, as in the shrimp), and you know the difference between iwagumi, dutch, and nature styles of aquarium, and have an interest in learning more about where the greatest aquascapers in the world got their knowledge and inspiration... then this is a book for you. Yes, it's kind of expensive, but we don't have easy access to many high quality printed books on this topic in the US. Thanks to Cory and ACO for bringing this into the country to offer up to us planted tank nerms.
