Are you out of your league when the conversation turns to sport? Maybe you've listened to friends or family arguing ferociously about the offside rule or Maradona's hand, and wondered how soon you can retreat.
Perhaps you've watched Formula One cars perpetually navigating the same circuit sixty-odd times and been perplexed as to the point. Or you've sat through five days of Test Match Cricket because you really love that person - but you still have no idea what (the) silly point is.
If you can relate to these situations (or any version thereof), then Demystifying SPORT - A Guide To Pretending You Know What's Going On is the book for you. Designed as an easy-to-read coffee-table companion, it covers seven of the most popular sports worldwide whilst being written in plain and simple English. There's even a strawberry and cream side of humour! (See Tennis if you're confused).
With this book beside you, your days of being a sporting outcast are consigned to the sin bin and bonus! bragging rights are in the bag as a hole-in-one awaits when you ace the multiple-choice quiz at the end.
It's time. You're in pole position, and kick-off is now, so let's play!
Squeeze into the driving seat and let Demystifying SPORT whizz you around the track with your very own yellow jersey flapping gloriously in the wind.
Only one question remains: are you ready to bowl out the competition?
