The Joy of Bocce is an excellent book for everyone, from the novice to the expert, who wish to play this game. Pagnoni explains, in detail, the rules of the game, the different types of shots, the playing surface, strategy, even practicing. Most importantly, it describes the different types of play for both recreational bocce and professional bocce. There is even instructions on how to build your own bocce court. Anyone interested in learning about this sport, or anyone who would like to learn more about this sport, should pick up a copy of this book. A complete manual about playing the game.

This book has all you need to know about this sport. I love this book. As a rookie in this sport, i feel that this book helped me and my team win the northern Massachusetts bocce state title. This is a great book for all ages and playing needs

This book shows all the best of Bocce and I think for anyone just starting out or already in the game should read it and enjoy it as much as I have.

I bought this book and a Backyard Bocce Ball set for my husband for his birthday and found it very helpful for planning game strategy. We plan to build walls for our game area next Spring using the guidelines in the book. Good book for all beginners to Backyard Bocce!

This is for serious bocce players.....not anyone like me who just wants to have fun.
I gave it away.

The book is clear, well written, and has proved me with the information I needed.

I enjoyed the book very much. It was easy to read and follow the instructions. I like the use of photos for enhancement and for explainations. This history was informative but I think carried a little too much. I would recommend the book to all beginners learning to play.

It is a great book on bocce. If you play you should own it.

While Pagnoni's book contains a lot of interesting facts about the game of bocce, it fails to mention the World Series of Bocce, a multi-day event that draws teams from several states and Canada to Rome, NY, every July. A mention -- if not some recent results and/or pictures -- would have made the book much more complete.
