Details here.What a great cover photo!We have managed to find some new copies of this very enjoyable little book (104 pages), first published in 1994. Allan opens the door a little on his trade - sports journalist - and that is interesting in itself. But he also invents the character 'Uncle Fred' and paints a portrait of this bowler for us. I bet that everyone who reads it will recognise aspects of bowlers at their own club, with their obsessions, views, habits, abilities and failings. Allan cleverly uses Uncle Fred to espouse views which he might otherwise not be able to air - possible rule changes, for example, or the way lady bowlers are viewed.

Details here. Unfortunately, a lot of this is about match statistics - who beat whom and by how much - and I can't honestly say I learned a huge amount about Willie Wood. However, it does chart the story of one of Scotlands most popular and successful bowlers and every now and then does give an interesting insight or useful tip.Last few new copies of this 1990 title, but the covers have slight printing faults. Price reduced accordingly.
