Description
The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. A New Book of Sports is an encyclopedia of sorts focusing on sports, games, and outdoor activities. The book dedicates individual chapters to more than 40 different activities, including deer-hunting, curling, marbles, boxing, cricket, chess, sea-fishing, and much more. The author approaches the subject matter from a more personal perspective than one would find in a true reference book, and many of the entries include detailed personal accounts. Most entries include a brief history of the activity, and commentary on its status in the world at the time of the book's publication.
A New Book of Sports is a book that will appeal to anybody interested in the history of sports and games. It is an interesting read, and an extensive text, including entries on quite a wide range of topics. If you are curious about popular sporting activities outside the usual crowd of football, baseball etc. this book is a worthwhile addition to your personal library.
It should be noted that this republication contains pages reprinted in different formats, and thus text size varies from page to page.
