John Jowdys Bowling Fundamentals is good, from what ive heard... I also love reading Bowlers Journal Magazine, and Bowling this month.
Nobody's mentioned it but I located a copy of David Ozio's "Bowl Like A Pro" in a used book store and found it pretty helpful, especially in targeting spares. It was a couple of bucks well-spent, to be sure.

16 years bowling, serious about bowling for the last year or two, 201 high average, Too many current balls to list, Virtual Gravity is the newest. High game 267, set 693.
I have three in my library:"Bowl Like A Pro" by David Ozio, "Winning Bowling" by Earl Anthony, and "From Gutterballs to Strikes" by Mike Durbin. They are all good books and I recommend they to anyone wishing to improve their game.

Thanks, for the BTM recommendation. I do not think I would hav found the magazine otherwise. Much appreciated.
I forgot to mention Jowdy's book. I just received a PDF copy of Joe Slowinski's Bowling Reference System. I skimmed through most of it. I'll put out a review once I've read it completely. I would love to have a copy of Fred Borden's 10 keys to Bowling. It was my favorite bowling book to get out of the library. Unfortunately it was lost by a library patron (I bet he kept it) and never replaced.

Hmmmm...an old thread that was worth bringing back from the dead. Thanks for the recommendations all. I've always thought that if I can take just one or two things from a book like these the read's been worth it.
