Seller's Description:
Fair. The cover of this paperback book has curled corners. This paperback book shows normal wear and tear. Shipped to you from Goodwill of the Valleys, Roanoke VA. Thank you for your support!
This doubles guide is the best doubles book I've read. She's articulate, funny, and knows how to relate to the club and league players trying to improve their doubles tactics. Not for beginners, not for experts, just for us. Just right.
