Not a good buy for UK readers.,
This review is from: Curling for Dummies (Paperback)
Not a bad book for those wanting to learn more about curling but it is VERY biased towards the curling scene in Canada. The history of the game and the rules are all covered although the tactics of the game are only touched on. All of the information about taking up the game, ie: finding a club to join, competitions to enter, etc. are applicable only to Canadians. You will not learn anything which will help you much in this country. A much better buy (and cheaper) is Curling Basics by Roy Sinclair.

A wonderful introduction to the sport,
By 2nearsighted - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Curling for Dummies (Paperback)
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.

Nothing 'Dumb' about it!,
By S. A. McKinnon "clanmckinnon" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Curling for Dummies (Paperback)
The book is great as a stand alone, or as a backup for those of us who have embarked on our curling careers already, and need a little extra help remembering all the phrases, shots, rules, etc.
It also gives some background and history on alot of the aspects of curling, which help you better understand the sport as a whole. Anyone who thinks curling is easy needs to sit down and read the book and sign up for a class. There's nothing 'easy' or 'dumb' about it, but you will meet alot of very interesting people and gain a new respect for the people who have been doing this their entire lives. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful:

curling for dummies review,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Curling for Dummies (Paperback)
A great book for beginners. Covers all the basics very well. Not only does it discuss how-to and strategy but also talks about watching games on TV and attending bonspiels. It is also a very smooth read.
