Curling for Dummies (For Dummies)

Rating:
Summary: A wonderful introduction to the sport
Review: I'm one of the few people I know who has the entire "For Dummies" library, ranging from auto repair to gastro-intestinal surgery. CURLING FOR DUMMIES is a welcome addition to the set, especially since the popularity of the sport has skyrocketed in recent years due to winter olympic coverage. Whether you intend to start your own local curling team, or whether you're simply interested in following the Canadian league with satellite television or some kind of short wave radio--CURLING FOR DUMMIES will acquaint you with all of the rules and nuances of the games, from techniques and ice conditions, to a lucid explanation of what all that yelling is about and what that one person is doing with the broom. Thank you Bob Weeks, for opening the door to a beautiful ballet, crossed with a chess match, and taking place on ice, mostly with Canadians.
