3.0 out of 5 stars Decent pictures but seems a bit simplistic, outdated., May 15, 2000

This review is from: Basketball Rules in Pictures, Revised Edition (Paperback)

As you might be able to tell from the front cover, yes, this is an fully illustrated book detailing the rules of basketbal. And while the photos do help to explain the basic rules of the game, the book is for the beginner only and should not be used as a reference for the more intermediate-advanced reader. Good for anyone new to the game and it's rules...and that's it. The feel of the book seems a tad old as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Out of date and limited, January 7, 2002

This review is from: Basketball Rules in Pictures, Revised Edition (Paperback)

I've found the other books in this series to be useful basic primers on the rules, with clear illustrations. This one is less-than-basic on the rules and devotes a lot of space instead to how to play the game. It tries to do two things and does neither one well.
