Bare Bones Stones: A Welcome Guide to Curling

Bare Bones Stones: A Welcome Guide to Curling won't teach you the secrets of curling. If I knew those, I'd keep them to myself and be a much better curler than I am. Instead, the book is aimed for new curlers who are trying to learn the game as they start to play it. Bare Bones Stones is also for those of you who may only ever watch curling during the Olympics but want to impress your friends with a new found encyclopedic knowledge of the sport. Topics covered include: Why players sweep. Why curling stones are so expensive. Why sheep are called hogs in Scotland. And a whole host of other whys you might want answered! All this and more without investing more than a few hours of your time reading a book.
