    $10 on amazon for the kindle edition. I may be buying this. Does anyone with the real book reccommend to get paper version. Not sure if it makes a difference . Possible diagrams?

    I never understood how you could learn English by reading English. Don't you need to know the language before you can learn it?

    Seriously, I just started reading bowling books myself. I just finished Bowling Execution-the one with Chris Barnes demonstrations throughout the book. As I follow this forum I begin to understand the language a bit more (hence my silly opening puzzler). I was recently disappointed to find absolutely nothing in the sports section at my local Barnes and Nobels, Out of 48 shelves of sports books, nothing on bowlilng. 8 shelves for baseball, almost as much for football (American football, as opposes to soccer), one shelf on soccer, nothing on bowling. The few times I have found anything it is very rudamentary, such as bowling for dummies.

    Feeling neglected here.
    I live by three simples rules:

    1. Don't ever ask about my business
    2. Never discuss business at the table
    3. Don't ever side with anyone against the family

    This is a great book, I would recommend it to anyone. I bought the Kindle edition, and am on my 3rd read-thru since I bought it in June. Excellent information in the book.

    I've read that book like 5 times. I just lent it out to someone I see at the lanes often. I was really kicking butt that day, and he said a complement like how the noise coming off my lane was depressing him.

    OK y'all can stop twisting my arm now, I just bought this book on Google Play. I prefer ebooks as they are generally cheaper and you can read them on your computer which is where I spend most of my time at work - now I have something to read between service tickets muwahaha...

    I hope this isn't developing into a habit by quoting myself. But I reached for my book this morning to look something up, but it wasn't there. I hope the guy I lent it to is using it. I can't remember now what I was gonna look up either. I think it had something to do with revs and cover stocks.

    If you think of what it was PM me and I'll be glad to look it up for you. It's the least I can do for you recommending this book.

    I hear ya GeoLes, the Barnes and Noble here is the same way. I was looking for some bowling literature and out of all the stuff on golf, baseball etc. there was one book on bowling. I looked at the magazine section and there was stuff for everything but bowling in the sport section there. When I asked a woman employee there about getting something on bowling she said that the only way they get something on bowling is to oder it if someone asks about it. Give me a break. That sounds like discrimanation to me.
