A book for all those who have played, still play and would consider
playing along with an essential requirement for all colleges,
schools and libraries. The vast majority of badminton players have
a rather limited knowledge of the game which is usually restricted
to the confines of their local club and league. Sadly the few books
that were of any help in this respect are now long ago out of
print. So here at long last is an insight into the wonderful world
of the sport of Badminton. An insight into the game of Badminton as
found on the pages of a great variety of books and magazines.
Graham Dixon has used his collection of badminton books and
magazines along with the resources of the National Badminton Museum
to produce a remarkable insight into the game of badminton as
recorded by players and writers over the last 120 years. Fifteen
chapters deal with such facets of the game as;- The history and
development - Books and magazines - The All England Championships -
Veteran players - How to play - Shuttles - Rackets - Clothing -
Courts and Equipment - Some serious facts - Some 'funny' stuff -
Some of the great players and a most comprehensive bibliography.
The book is in full colour and fully illustrated with some classic,
informative and amusing illustrations from a variety of sources.
Steven Baddeley, Director of National Sport, Sport England, in his
forward to the book says, 'If you enjoy a weekly game of badminton
with family or friends or if you play in a local league, you will
enjoy reading this informative account of badminton past and
present'.
