Hashim Khan is the legendary squash player who wrote his book by speaking and demonstrating to Randall E. Richard...no editing...Khan's words are left in second-language English that gives you the feeling of meeting the man and sharing his wisdom. Full of diagrams and strategies.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A good book but somewhat outdated,
By A Customer
This review is from: Squash Racquets, the Khan Game (Paperback)
This is a book by one of the greatest players of squash. I think the most unique thing about this book is it's style. The book follows the way Hashim (the author) thinks. Since he did not receive formal education beyond elementary level therefore, the sentences are broken and not what you'd expect from an ordinary book. His sincerity toward the reader and the game of squash comes out very well in this book. Since Hashim wrote this book in the 60's, the content is somewhat outdated. Some of the squash shots that he shows (illustrated by photographs) are outdated and seldom used in todays sport. Overall, a good book that needs to be brought up to date.

A delightful introduction to the game of squash,

This review is from: Squash Racquets, the Khan Game (Paperback)
Hashim Khan was THE master of squash for many, many years. In its day, his book certainly deserved a 5 out 5.
As the other reviewer noted, it may be a bit dated now. But it is a delight to read... not in spite of, but because of, Khan's unique authorial voice. I recommend it to anything who would like a fun, short, readable, entertaining introduction to the game.
