By Bowlers For Bowlers

Finally, a bowling book for bowlers that isn"t just for beginners. Yes, the basics are covered, but in the context of someone trying to "get to that next level". Not only this, but these authors can write in an interesting manner, making fun reading. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to improve their game.
