I love the game of darts. When I first started playing I wanted to get as many books on the subject that I could find. My main purspose was to read about how I could become a better player by reading what the experts had to say. This was one of the books that I bought. The book is interesting if you are looking for exactly what the title says, "The Story of Darts in America". If you are looking for more or tips on how to be a better player than find another book. I do still have the book, and I do pick it up from time to time and read a little bit of it. I enjoy it now more than I did when I first bought it. I think it is recommended for someone who loves the sport and is interested in it historically, not for a beginner that wants to learn to play.
