Synopsis	This little book is Number 12 in Foulsham's Sports Library series and the logo of the 'Book Production War Economy Standard' appears in at least one version. It contains the following chapters: Brief History of Bowls For the Novice Qualities in Players Common to Rink and Crown Green Games Differences in Rink and Crown Green Games Duties of Team Players in the Rink Game The Professional Game Potshare Bowling Indoor Bowls The laws of the rink game (as adopted by the International Bowling Board, 11 July, 1928) and the crown green game (undated) are also included. How to Play Bowls Scientifically fails to live up to its title and is of limited historical interest. Also by James Hartley: The Ancient Game of Bowls and its Modern Practice Bowler's Complete Guide to the Crown Green and Rink Games Bowls - How to Play the Crown Green and Rink Games How to Play Bowls Scientifically (co-author Harold Percy Webber) The last-named book, written about a decade later than the title under review and again number 12 in Foulsham's Sports Library series, is an updated version and has many similarities in terms of content.
