Let's Go Bowling! [Hardcover]

Eric Dregni (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 27, 2005

From The Honeymooners to The Big Lebowski, from The Flintstones to Ed, bowling has rolled right down the middle of American culture like no sport—or even pastime—in the nation’s postwar history. This entertaining, illustrated history illuminates the place that bowling holds in the heart of America, as well as its loftier antecedents and the high-kitsch status all things bowling have recently attained.

This is a great book for anyone that has bowled. It has a great history, wonderful pictures and just fun to look through and read. I gave these out as Christmas presents to our bowling friends and they were a HUGE hit.
