Book Description

Publication Date: April 1977

THE BOOK OF DARTS is the first complete book on darts for the more than 3.5million serious dart players in the US. This book will not only teach a potential player how to play better, describing more than 40 different dart games, it also captures the ambiance of the dart scene in the US and England; it profiles darting superstars, male and female; it explains the game's curious magnetism and growth and describes its evolution. All over the country bar owners are hanging dartboards on their walls, declaring "Now we're a pub" and settling back to watch the customers pour in and drink and throw. In the words of a darts enthusiast: "It's a great sport. It looks so simple, all you have to do is put that little dart in that little space. But you can't imagine how hard it is, or how magnetizing. It's like eating peanuts."

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the BEST book about darts ever written, August 11, 1999

D. Block (Long Island, New York) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Book of Darts (Hardcover)

As a kid I was a big dart fanatic, and this book gave me insights to the game which probably took others years to accumulate. The writing is excellent, amusing, and has an interesting "you are there" quality. Added much dimension to the game, and is the most sensible, mature, and down-to-earth view of the "how to play" that I have ever read. Hope you find a copy, I cherish mine.
