Reviews of The Art of Pickleball

Excellent book
The instructional chapters are full of useful tips. The illustrations are great... readers will find this a wonderful resource for the sport of pickleball.
     -- Fran Myer, United States of America Pickleball Association

Wonderful!
 If you play, and care about how-to or the rules, this is for you. Very readable. 
     -- P. Dever-Reynolds (via Amazon.com)

The Art of Pickleball
This is a wonderful book for beginners and seasoned players of pickleball. It brings you from basic to advanced...if you want to go there. I have been playing pickleball for 6+ years...I recommend this book for anyone interested in learning either casual playing or for serious competition. 
     -- Pierre J. Boudreaux (via Amazon.com)

The Art of Pickleball 
A book for the beginner to experienced player, covering all aspects of the game in easy to understand words and diagrams. 
     -- Joan Cey (via Amazon.com)

Very informative and concise 
Covered all aspects in simple language. I learned a lot. A must for beginners and intermediate players. Key rules are reviewed. 
     -- Winston54 (via Amazon.com)

THIS IS A GOOD ONE!
Appears to be a good reference for what it says on the cover. Haven't been able to get it away from my wife.. Hope I don't have to play against her 'till i've had a chance to read more.
     -- David E Roeder (via Amazon.com)

Much needed resource
This book provides much needed information on basic techniques and apprpriate strategies for the game. It would be particularly helpful to new players in forming good habits and adding other dimensions to their game. I liked that it sometimes offered more than one approach rather than a "one size fits all" solution. The book also assists experienced players in discovering flaws in their game and methods to tweak these weaknesses.
     -- Sharynel (via Amazon.com)
Everything You Need to Know About PB 
The book is well laid out, organized and easy to read. It is good for beginners (like me) and for experts (like the friend who recommended it to me.) 
     -- Patti (via Amazon.com)

Great book for all! 
This pickle ball book covers everything! Beginners and advanced players will all get something out of it. You will love it! 
     -- Susan Schatzel (via Amazon.com)

Very Comprehensive Guide! 
I have found this book to be very comprehensive and as a new player to the game have learned some valuable insight into playing more competitively. 
     -- Gary W. Schwertly (via Amazon.com)

Excellent Resource 
Very thorough coverage of all aspects of pickleball. Very well written and presented for easy reading and comprehension with helpful artwork and depictions of many aspects of play. This book has it all (history, techniques, strategies, singles, doubles, rules, etc). Should be on every pickleballer's 'need to have' list/coffee table. 
     -- Halfmoon (via Amazon.com)

Great book with all basics 
Being a novice pickleball player, I needed something to get me up to speed while learning with my wife. This book was perfect. Will refer to it often. 
     -- JPArizona (via Amazon.com)

How To Win At Pickleball
As a new and former tennis player I found the book very informative. I needed to know the strategies involved on playing a competitive game and this book answered all of my questions.
     -- Ilyse Blitzer (via Amazon.com)

A must read for players
I bought this book to help get me started with Pickleball and it was a great help. Now I find that I continue to go back and reread sections to improve my game and it is very helpful. The entire book is well written. I started with the paperback and have added the Kindle edition for those times I am traveling and I like them both.
     -- S. Wright "atcguy" (via Amazon.com)
