Synopsis	This book is intended as a guide to the game. It is not an instructional tome, there are plenty of those around for those who feel the need. I hope it will tell the reader, bowler or not, something about the game he did not already know. Above all it is intended to give pleasure and to act as a browser's reference book. Some of the special features include: the history of bowls from ancient Egypt to the present day; flat green, crown green, federation bowls history and records, many appearing for the first time; profiles of leading bowlers such as David Bryant, Tony Allcock, Jimmy Carruthers, David Cutler and John Snell; the game worldwide from Argentina to Zimbabwe; the major tournaments and the world championships: the winners - the losers - the stories; the influence of W G Grace on bowls; and the shots and terminology.
