A complete guide to tennis strokes, styles and strategies and an education in the art of winning. Words and pictures show you the techniques of top players, the most up-to-date (rev. 1992) information... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is a very complete book on tennis. Not a book to learn from, though, because it has so much information. If you already play well and would like to know the game's history as well as other techniques (and look at lots of pictures of past great players), this is the perfect book.
The best among half-dozen tested
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book was the best out of about a half-dozen books in which i carefully reviewed a test chapter, on tennis serving. Subsequently i read the entire book, which is voluminous. The book's not perfect. There are occasional areas of ambiguity and repetition, which the publisher Alfred Knopf company did not catch. But it was still the best of a random sampling of such books. Knopf should re-print it.
