Synopsis	This book, now largely of historical interest, contains an intriguing series of chapters that combine the expected with the unusual. For example, 'The Bowler's Equipment' and 'Stance on the Mat' contrast with 'Use of the Fingers in Keen Green Play' and 'The Skittle Shot'. The chapters 'Expert Opinions Upon the Importance of a Good Second Man' and 'Future of the Game' make Fascinating Reading, while 'On Laying a Bowls Green' quotes figures of £700 to £800 'to correctly lay a green and place upon it thoroughly reliable Cumberland or Scottish turf.' Photographs of bowlers evoke the post-Edwardian era. Also by George T Burrows: All About Bowls - A Manual for Novice and Expert Players Bowling Guide and How to Play Bowls Bowls - How to Excel at the Game Bowls - Theory and Practice Crown and Flat Green Bowls The Game of Bowls How to Play Bowls
