BOOK DESCRIPTION
Serious Croquet
Croquet is not just the fun, back yard game anymore; tournament croquet is a different, a serious game, and a serous sport. But, have you ever tried to explain the game to someone outside of the sport; why you love it, why you are obsessed with this elusive game? Or, why you find yourself traveling across country to a tournament to or a croquet clinic! It's not easy.
This remarkable new 11” x 14” full color table-top book, SERIOUS CROQUET, clearly illustrates the artistry, emotions and camaraderie of competitive croquet by combining the dramatic, gallery-like photographs and portraits by Bob Chilton, exhibited photographer, philanthropist and championship-level croquet player with the delightfully narrative and captivating prose of John Osborn, writer/reporter, tournament director at Mar-a-logo and multi-year National Croquet Champion. Together they captured the beauty of this sport showing its players in all their diversity and, explaining why we play.
Serious Croquet is the perfect collector’s book and perfect for a unique personal or holiday gift that will be cherished for years and that is a guaranteed conversation-starter.
