Pétanque: The Greatest Game You Never Heard Of: Beyond Bocce

A typically American book with all the evangelism of a convert, but little spiritual or full technical understanding. I am in full agreement with the other review on this book that asks why try to translate terms when those terms perfectly fit what's needed? Another approach that is typically American... Nor is it the first manual in English either!

I brought this book as a Christmas gift for my mother who is an avid petanque player. Contained within the book is a lot of information regarding the game as well as strategies and playing tips to improve your performance. All the players at the club agree that the book is a good resource for petanque.

It turned out to be child size. The grandchildren had grest fun with it!

A must if you play the game but read with a pinch of salt. The game is not necessarily this serious.

Great book. I’m well and truly hooked and in a team. I also play very regularly.
