3.0 out of 5 stars You need to be a real dummy to benefit from this!, 28 Jul 2002
By A. Manuchehri (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book will defenitely be useful if you are an absolute beginner or this is your very first book on tennis; but then this can apply to any other tennis book!
If you're already a tennis player and looking to improve your game,you have to go through loads of junk before comming across some good stuff.
Summary: There are much better options around!
