An Illustrated
History of Ball Games by Nigel Viney & Neil Grant explains the origins and
development of nearly fifty ball games, from the various versions of the games
we all know such as Football, Cricket, Tennis & Golf right through to the
less known such as Shinty, Stoolball, Korfball, Knurr & Spell and Gilli Danda
This is a first
edition published by William Heinemann in 1978 - it is 201 page hardback, green
cloth cover with gold lettering on the spine complete with dustjacket measuring
9.5" (24cm) x 6.75” (17cm) x 7/8" (2cm) ISBN 434969400
The book is in
excellent condition with a good binding, no written dedications and no age
related discolouration – as you can see from the photos, the dustjacket has been
price clipped, has a few little wear marks but is generally in very good
condition
A good,
interesting read, it will make a fine addition to any sporting library
