To be used for many years

I had a version of this same book when I was a kid, and remember pouring over the pages for hours on end. It opened my eyes to so many wonderful sports, that might not necessarily be popular or common in the US. To this day, I still browse through it when I visit my parents house. This is a truly timeless book, that can be passed down through generations.

Great Sports Reference Book

When I first viewed this book in my local library, I was captivated for hours. The wealth of information that can be found in this book is excellent. I've seen some unusual games before on television, but never fully understood the basic rules and what is involved.This book explains and illustrates (very well) the basics of many professional and amateur games that are played in the world.I once used this book to create a game that would be easy to play and where no one would get hurt. This book helped, and now the young kids in my family use it make up new games. We combine the balls and rules of many games into one.If you love sports, or you are new to sports, this book will be of help to you.
