 A RIP OFF!! October 21, 2008
Michael C. Poutous (Texas)

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

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. It also isn't very well organized, with some sections being 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 one 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.

Book is very informative. Am using it to construct crayfish habitat to grow them as a supplement to our food storage.

The information contained in this booklet is good, but i would like it more if it had a little more graphics to ilustrate with more detail how to build the infraestructure needed to start an operation as well as a checklist of the materials and equipment needed, but in general i would say the booklet is good.
Both this book and Red Claw! are great. October 30, 1998

Both this book and the Red Claw book were great! I stayed up really late perusing them last night. I'm hoping to visit a couple of local farms in the near future in the hopes to learn more about starting my own crayfish farm.
