Place (Dallas, Texas) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful The author of Small Scale Crayfish Farming seems to have only compiled some old obsolete information in to a home printed book, with only a few observations of his own and a lot of filler pages with recipes. The author states "MAKE BIG MONEY raising crayfish", but never goes in to any specific details about the actual farming operations, constructions, maintenance, or potential problems. The author never addresses any potential permitting requirements, or marketing of the crayfish after harvest. This booklet barely has an honorable mention of the tank farming possibilities for crayfish. This booklet reads like many of the agricultural white papers written by university students, and not like someone who may run their own successful crayfish farming operation. There is more useful information available online, and via several of the online video sites like youtube. I do not recommend anyone purchase this book, because anyone who is half serious about crayfish farming, has already read more information online than what is in this booklet. Nothing yet.   March 15, 2010 Carey A. Worthey 0 out of 2 found this review helpful Still have not received it. Really dont even want it anymore as it is too late in the season. Great book on Crayfish   February 21, 2009 Connie D. Peters (Saint Augustine, Fl) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful Very detailed, yet simple to understand. A lot of drawing and information and written in a manner that even someone new to crayfish raising could understand. Lots of good info and expertise. AA++ A RIP OFF!!   October 21, 2008 Michael C. Poutous (Texas) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful This booklet is a rip off. It's like the publisher just copy and pasted information from Wikipedia and around the internet. And forget about it helping you setting up a pond or anything else for that matter. The cover says "small scale" but it only makes (very vague) reference to "5 acre ponds" (and larger) and then does not even say how to set that up. I was hoping to set up a small pond in my back pasture, something like 10 feet by 20 feet. Forget it. If this is even possible, this "book" isn't going to help you. This booklet was put out by a scam artist who just wanted to make some cash off people like me (those who wanted real, practical information). Don't be fooled. Anyone can self-publish free information and make money off it. The information isn't even good (much less useful). If anything, this will teach you how you can publish crap off the internet to make money off honest people. The 2 stars are for the fact that it makes good fire kindling. Overpriced, poorly published   June 19, 2008 Lisa Kearns (North Carolina, USA) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful This "book", while it does have some good information on crayfish farming, isn't a good value. It's 50 pages, 8"x5", cheaply printed, with varying fonts, smears, poor graphics, and haphazard layout. Some sections are nothing more than a collection of sentences pasted together from other sources. At the most, I'd call this a booklet. There are also several pages containing nothing but a recipe for crayfish. I don't think recipes belong in this book, especially when they seem to be just page fillers. I gave this booklet three stars because it does give some decent information on food, moulting stages, water pH, etc. But information available free on the Internet will tell you just as much, without the $11 plus postage price.
