Product Description
Two athletes willingly shut themselves inside a large, white box. Armed with what look like large flyswatters, they chase a dead rubber ball, banging it against a wall until they are half-dead with exhaustion -- and then they do it again.

In Keep Eye on Ball, Is Most Important One Thing I Tell You, editor Chris Widney combines the teachings of squash legend Hashim Khan with the drawings of artist Richard Pitts in order to unravel some of the mystery behind this game that no one can seem to explain or stop playing.

The result is a book that will leave squash fanatics laughing all the way to the court, and may even help them win a point or two when they get there. ... Read more

This books hits the "tin", just as a bad squash stroke would
I read the book hoping I would gain some insight into the game I have been playing at a competitive level for over 8 years.I was disappointed to find out that despite having been written by one of squash's legends,Hashim Khan, it fails, on every account, to provide any useable informationfor either begginers or advanced players.Nor are the illustrations withinthe pages of the book inspiring.I do not recommend this book for anyonelooking to gain or deepen their wisdom of this fascinating sport.If Iwere a squash referee, I'd call a "let point" against this book.

Fun book. Not good for learning the game
I bought the book hoping to learn squash, being a beginner. I was disappointed to find that it wasn't written for that purpose. It has nuggets of wisdom from one of the greats, so I suspect it could be more interesting for an advanced player of for a squash aficionado, but not for someone looking to learn the game from the ground up. ...

Unsurpassed for up to top club players
For my 10 year squash career to top club level, I had a lot of fancy books. None of them really made any difference accept this relatively straight forward work of Jonah Barringtons - and this one made ALL the difference. Even though its shorter and a lot less fancy, it tells you more of what you really need to know and feel,and in a clearer way than any other squash book I have every seen.Target your next superior player,put in a few hours practicing the principals and thoughts in this little work of classic squash genious, and enjoy the sporting experience of a life time.

Jonah did a wonderful job.
I learned how to play squash by reading this book. Very helpful book ... Read more

Superficial and disappointing
The author has at least seven other books in a series of growing various vegetables. This book has the feeling of something written to spec without great depth or passion. Much of the information is generic, and the author and the book could have benefited from a bit more effort and research. There is needless lack of precision. The book is certainly of some use, but it could have and should have been better. ... Read more

Great book for curious kids
This book is well researched, well written and provides lots of valuable information on bugs that serves both entertainment and educational purposes. The photographs are colorful and diverse--sure to captivate any kid with an interest in science or bugs!

A Great Book for Kids AND Teachers
I highly recommend this book. As a third grade teacher who does a unit on insects, I thought I had a lot of background knowledge. Apparently not! I learned SO much from this book. The writing is perfect for elementary aged children to read independently. The pictures add so much. Great book!!!!

A compendium of facts

A compendium of facts (including a 'Word List' glossary of special terms), children will come to appreciate what a variety of insects and their necessary and very special functions. Each insect is provided with its scientific name, location, growth cycle, history, and beneficial function. Simply put, "Don't Squash That Bug!" should be a part of every school and community library's reference collection for elementary school age children.

Packed with fun facts and fantastic photos.Kids will love this book!
This is a great little book for young children.All types of children would really enjoy this book because of its format and colorful photos.If they want to know lots of details, they can find them, or they can just focus on the entertaining facts about their favorite- or obscure- insects and other creepy-crawlers.The information is doled out in bite-size pieces in an easy-to-read format, and the photos are fantastic and eye-popping.

With the growing inactivity in children's lives these days, it's nice to see a book that will get them outside and away from the television.
