I'd be happy to lend you my copy.  You know how Amano's work sometimes has 
a tendency to become a commercial for ADA products?  The whole freaking 
book is that way with The Optimum Aquarium.

The other thing I remember is that the English Translation (Albert Thiel) 
is supposedly not very good compared to the original German.

Cheryl, in what manner were you thinking of publishing it?  I don't know 
how it could be done in a way that would break even for a book that most 
would find useful mostly for historical reasons... unless we could scan it 
and sell the text as an EBook.  Is there a way to print low-run books at 
reasonable prices?
