"Tim Hollis hits a hole in one in this beautiful and entertaining look at America's miniature golf courses."--Brian Rucker, author of Treasures of the Panhandle "I can't wait to add this fun little book to my collection. Hollis makes the world of miniature golf come to life with unique vintage postcards and photos."--Rick Kilby, author of Finding the Fountain of Youth Dinosaurs, octopusi, ghosts, mermaids, dragons, rocket ships, castles, and more! The Minibook of Minigolf takes you on a wacky and wonderful tour of miniature golf in the southeast, where it has always been most popular--and where it began in 1925: at Tom Thumb Golf on Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga, Tennessee, birthplace of the game. Enjoy this trip through southern states and classic American memories--then get out on the road, find the nearest course, and play a round or two!

The perfect golfing gift: A book that is a complete, working 9-hole miniature golf course, with miniature golf balls and putter included. The first book you can play through. The book that's a true original. Featuring nine themed courses, from pirates to dinosaurs to the classic windmill, The Miniature Book of Miniature Golf celebrates the silliness and the golf-for-everyone! attitude of Putt-Putt. Each page in the book is a cleverly designed hole, modeled on real mini golf courses. Tap the ball through the grooves and make sure to avoid the obstacles. Then see if you can get it in the clown's mouth on the last hole. Every hole is par fun.

Now you can play one of the world's best-loved games anytime, anywhere. A working miniature dart kit, The Mini Book of Mini Darts has everything you need to get your game on, and more. Created, designed, and illustrated by the team behind the successful Darts! calendar, it includes 40 colorful dartboards (used for 43 games); an ingenious fold-out design that features a stand-up magnetic backer; six blunt-tipped magnetic mini darts; and a full-color book filled with games, rules, technique, lore, and triviaÑa celebration of darts. Ah, that satisfying thwack when the dart hits its targetÑbut with no worries about needle-sharp projectiles going astray, or the need for a regulation distance between the oche (throwing line) and dartboard. Just set up the easel-style board on a desk, table, office cubicle, dorm-room floorÑor yes, barÑthen move back a few feet and play. The 43 games start on the traditional side, with classics like Cricket and 501 played on familiar boards of concentric rings, then move quickly into quirky, innovative, and fun challenges like Pyramid Power, Trip to the Stars, Cupid's Arrow, Roulette, Please Stand By, and Coney Island Hustle. The boards themselves are works of art, with imagery ranging from bowling pins to Stonehenge to a mushroom and pepperoni pizza, from a Mayan calendar to a drum kit. Plus readers will learn about top players, the origins of -01 games, dartitisÑthe darts version of the yipsÑand how to master the perfect throw.
