I brought this item for my Mum for Christmas as she is an avid tennis fan. Excellent book with loads of information and details of the whole game from the history of tennis, to great tennis stars of all time, to the more recent tennis heroes. The size of the book is just right to be comfortable to browse on your lap - lots of colourful pictures and illustrations. If you love tennis, you will love this book.
