The Art of Badminton
About this book
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.
