Customer Reviews
Not a good buy for UK readers.
Not a bad book for those wanting to learn more about curling but it is VERY biased towards the curling scene in Canada. The history of the game and the rules are all covered although the tactics of the game are only touched on. All of the information about taking up the game, ie: finding a club to join, competitions to enter, etc. are applicable only to Canadians. You will not learn anything which will help you much in this country. A much better buy (and cheaper) is Curling Basics by Roy Sinclair.
