I had bought this book early on in my microfishing journey, in an attempt to learn more about the fish I was after. Only when I received the book did I learn that it is a book for children (big type, nice pictures). Only when I reread the book after I was much older did I learn it is also a book for us old geezers (big type, nice pictures).

It's not a book about microfishing, although it does (briefly) mention catching minnows with a net and keeping them in a home aquarium. However, from a microfishing standpoint, there is one gem in the book (which I won't give away here) that is worth the price of the book. I had suspected it before, but it was nice to get scientific confirmation!

If you want to learn basic information about minnows, it's really not a bad book. If you have a younger child that might be interested in minnows and microfishing, it's really a pretty good book.
