The book covers all aspects of Association Croquet. It is clearly written with good diagrams and plenty of photographs to aid understanding. It should help to improve the performance of all players from beginners to those at the most advanced level. Players just starting to play the game might well find some of the later chapters beyond their understanding but these chapters should become more useful to them as they progress.

Having bought and read several hundred books on croquet, my knowledge of what is currently available and what has been published over the last hundred-and-fifty years is considerable. This volume gives a bit of history but focusses on how the game is currently played beyond the backyard. However, the game's principles and strategies are clearly detailed in pleasantly presented diagrams and photos of some of the world's best players executing both basic and advanced shots, making the book valuable to both backyard and formal players. Most books on croquet miss the mark; this book hits it. It is exceptionally good: straightforward, authoritative and handsomely designed. A terrific gift for a croquet enthusiast.
Excellent guide to croquet and tactics.
