Product Description

“Nobody writes darts better than Lenny”

Sky Sports



“Lenny Boyle [is a] darts expert”

The Mirror



Do you love darts? Wish it was covered with the respect it deserves by the mainstream media? But at the same time realise it’s a hilarious, entertaining and at times bizarre sport?

Then this is the book for you.

Lenny Boyle takes you by the hand through a transcendental tour of the tangled topography of tungsten. Or to put it in a way that makes him sound less of a tosser (I’m not used to writing in the third person) Lenny Boyle guides you through the highlights and the lowlights of a deeply odd year in the world of professional darts. He looks beneath and below and sideways at a thrilling, dramatic, surreal and hilarious sport.

From Adrian Lewis’ run to a second world title to Phil Taylor’s thirteenth Matchplay title.

And everything in between. The ghoulish Dana curse, floorboardgate and draftgate. All the scandals and weird incidents that have made for an unforgettable year in the world of darts. If you’re a hardcore darts geek, a casual fan or utterly new to chucks and chuckers; Lenny Boyle’s Darts Almanac is an absolutely essential read. And it’s cheap. Very cheap. Did I mention it’s cheap?

Lenny Boyle writes about professional darts for Mirror Sport, and a bunch of other places too.

How do you do that? I don't know but Lenny Boyle does. He takes the reader on a hilarious journey through a year of darts. He gives us a darts education with a unique edge. For beginner and expert alike its a treasure trove of fact and visionary insight into the sport. He de-bunks the old myths and creates some new ones of his own. How does he do that? He does it because he has imagination and a true love of the sport. Even if you don't like darts buy this book - it will change how you feel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enthusiastic, irreverent, expert! 30 Aug 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Lenny's enthusiasm for the sport of darts, its practitioners, chroniclers, fans and aficionados shines through his tumbling, sparkling prose. Funny, offbeat, philosophical, honest and spontaneous, this is sports writing at its best. A must read for all darts fans. The book focuses on a year in the sport. Lenny Boyle's Darts Almanac needs to become an annual event. The cover artwork is by Lenny's sister, artist Robyn Boyle. I love the Daliesque melting dartboards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Remarkable healing properties 6 Feb 2013
I had little need of Boyle's comprehensive knowledge of the sport of darts, nor any use for his witty writing and humour, but this nonetheless proved to be a very worthy purchase.
Simply by holding this piece of writing up against my body, I was not only relieved of a troublesome case of gout that had afflicted me for many months, but I was also overcome with a feeling of intense satisfaction... bordering (I am not ashamed to say) on the ecstatic.
Furthermore, it fixed the serious damp problem I have on the walls of my drawing room, and resurrected my beloved cat from the grave.
