Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic reference
Review: Both beginners and more advanced players should be able to get a lot out of this quality reference work as it offers detailed (yet practical) text, illustrationa and diagrams covering all aspects of the game. The book is considered by most experts in the sport to be among the top two or three instructionals ever published on Squash. It won't make you a championship quality player, but it should help your game no matter what skill level you are currently at.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I'm still spinning wheels on the court
Review: I bought this book out of frustration. Unable to beat my partner despite practicing secretly, I was hoping this book may help improve my game. Though it has useful drills and tips, I still cannot beat my partner. Rather than award this book 4 stars and recognize limits of my talent, I hold the author responsible.

This book does offer a lot to an intermediate player who needs to improve their technique. Final analysis: Very useful for the beginner to intermediary category, no revelations for strong intermediates and up.

Be aware that the dimensions of book are similar to a magazine, not something you can shove into your racquet cover.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A review from squash lover
Review: I bought this book to look at the drills and the workouts one needs to do to imporve the oncourt acceleration, endurance and stamina. This books have lot of drills which one can do to improve his or her game. Lot of strokes can be practised by oneself but there are a lot of drills that the book describes which need the help of a partner, which are very good for ball control like playing a game where both partners hit the ball to the back of the court and point is scored if the person hits short of the mid court line. etc., etc.,
In other words this is an excellent for all beginners/ intermediate players.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A basic overview
Review: I bought this book with my first squash racquet, and found it invaluable in learning the game. Each chapter builds upon the last, giving the impression that when you finish the book you won't need it anymore. However, it is a great resource to refer back to when having trouble with the technique of a particular shot. The author could have provided more drills in each section, but then again, there are other books that are dedicated to drills and improving your game. . .this book's focus is on teaching the beginner.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Book on drills
Review: I found the drills in this book to be very helpful in improving my game. It is an excellent resource for beginners/intermediate players. The drills are very good for improving accuracy. For those of you willing to impove their game this book is an excellent buy.
