Badminton Between The Covers
The vast majority of badminton players have a rather limited knowledge of the game which is usually restricted to the confines of their local club and league. Sadly the few books that were of any help in this respect are now long ago out of print. So here at last is an insight into the wonderful world of the sport of badminton.
Graham Dixon has used his collection of badminton books and magazines along with the resources of the National Badminton Museum to produce a remarkable insight into the game as recorded by players and writers over the last 120 years.
Fifteen chapters deal with such facets of the game as ;- The history and development – Books and magazines – The All England Championships – Veteran Players – How to play – Shuttles – Rackets – Clothing – Courts and equipment – Some serious facts – Some ‘funny’ stuff – Some great players and a most comprehensive bibliography. The book is in full colour and fully illustrated with some classic, informative and amusing illustrations.Steven Baddeley, Director of National Sport. Sport England in his forward says, “If you enjoy a weekly game of badminton with family or friends or if you play in a local league, you will enjoy reading this informative account of badminton past and present, and If like me, badminton is deeply embedded under your skin and within your psyche, this book is an essential read.”
