7. Let's Go Bowling!, Used [Hardcover]

From super-smooth alley sharks to granny-style rollers, the sport of bowling excludes no one. It is the great equalizer, knocking down barriers with each strike rolled. Rabble-rousing proletariat and flush fat cats - anyone may partake in this great pastime that brings more people together than just about any participant sport. Let's Go Bowling is an entertaining, illustrated history tracing the game from its ancient Egyptian roots to the twenty-first-century United States. Approaching his subject with an eye on its rich cultural context, author Eric Dregni leaves no stone (or is it Brunswick?) unturned, tackling everything from the sport's precursors, to bowling fashion, bowling alley architecture, bowling as social sport, and the game's frequent roles in TV, film, and music. Dregni also examines rarely discussed topics like a former German U-boat factory in Norway that today serves more peaceful ends as a bowling alley, feminine bowling hygiene tips from 1959, bowling etiquette, and the roll that nationalism played in claiming the sport as America's own during World War II. Illustrated throughout with period and modern archival photography and art, Let's Go Bowling is a fascinating look at the great sport and humble hobby that conquered the world. Book jacket.
