Tennis: Origins and Mysteries

She's been playing tennis for as long as Ive been alive. When she opened it, she said she knew everything about tennis... Came back a few days later telling me all the new things she learned from the book... I think she liked it. Haha.

5 stars for shipping. The book is interesting. Re-edited version of 1932 original, so you won't find too much current info in it. Some of its contents has been refuted by H. Gillmeister in his well researched book, Tennis: A Cultural History. Easy read. Since the book was used for research purposes the index, appendices, and illustration index as well as contents pages were put to great use.

Yes this was an interesting mix of the history of Tennis. I bought if for my brother-in-law, a tennis player & fan, and the combination he said sent it to the top of his reading list.

bought this for my son-in-law who is a tennis coach and he really liked it.

The pictures are great and loads of history of the origin of tennis. First book I have seen describing orign of tennis

Dense history work; serious and professional research.

Interesting book.

Muito esclarecedor é bem detalhado, porém por muitas vezes o autor é repetitivo, vale a leitura pois esclarece muitos das mistérios do esporte

Good read

Lovingly put together for all tennis and sports buffs
