(More customer reviews)Definitively: this book is a keeper! Whether you are a bowling aficionado or just a occasional player. You will love to browse through Joe Tonelli`s book. Beautifully coloured and well researched he takes the reader through a journey of textile decades full of creativity and beautiful "paintings" of the bowling sport. To put it in a nutshell: This is the definitive answer any bowling shirt fan could ask! Schiffer Books has once again done a great job. The company that collectors love for their extensive catalogue on nearly every subject is also well known for their perfect execution on a topic and "Bowling Shirts" is no exception to that rule.
You better go and grab a copy fast, you`ll never know how long it will be available and you may soon find yourself searching the antique book stores for a copy demanding extensively high prices.
And there is no other title of that subject (at least one that I know) which makes the choice so easy: Go for it!!!
Ohter titles of similar interest: Hawaii Shirts from Schiffer Books is a perfect companion to the above reviewed one. It also adds nicely to any collection.

The bowling shirt is a unique work of art. With patterns and colors as varied as the bowlers who wore them, bowling shirts reflect a time when Americans loved their big cars, drive-ins, bowling alleys, and flashy clothing. This book showcases a wonderful collection of bowling shirts, each with its individual art work. In over 600 color photographs, the shirts are displayed alphabetically by manufacturers. Embroidery and design detail, manufacturers' labels, and special features are shown along with a complete description and value guide. Drawing on over twenty years of collecting experience, the authors have assembled some of the best bowling shirts of this era. This book is a treat for anyone interested in the beautiful art created for the sport of bowling and for collectors of vintage clothing.
