Originally published in 1930, this book was written by George Thomas,
the 'All-England Singles' Champion of that time, and the man whom the
famous 'Thomas Cup' is dedicated to, which is still played for yearly
today. A fascinating look at the sport of badminton at that time, and
accompanied with advice that is still useful and practical today, this
book is highly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of anyone with
a passion for the sport. Many of these earliest books, particularly
those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and
artwork.
