[.ca] Squash (ISBN 0880115416)

Fantastic reference:
Both beginners and more advanced players should be able to get a lot out of this quality reference work as it offers detailed (yet practical) text, illustrationa and diagrams covering all aspects of the game. The book is considered by most experts in the sport to be among the top two or three instructionals ever published on Squash. It won't make you a championship quality player, but it should help your game no matter what skill level you are currently at.

I'm still spinning wheels on the court:
I bought this book out of frustration. Unable to beat my partner despite practicing secretly, I was hoping this book may help improve my game. Though it has useful drills and tips, I still cannot beat my partner. Rather than award this book 4 stars and recognize limits of my talent, I hold the author responsible. This book does offer a lot to an intermediate player who needs to improve their technique. Final analysis: Very useful for the beginner to intermediary category, no revelations for strong intermediates and up. Be aware that the dimensions of book are similar to a magazine, not something you can shove into your racquet cover.

Good Book on drills:
I found the drills in this book to be very helpful in improving my game. It is an excellent resource for beginners/intermediate players. The drills are very good for improving accuracy. For those of you willing to impove their game this book is an excellent buy.

A review from squash lover:
I bought this book to look at the drills and the workouts one needs to do to imporve the oncourt acceleration, endurance and stamina. This books have lot of drills which one can do to improve his or her game. Lot of strokes can be practised by oneself but there are a lot of drills that the book describes which need the help of a partner, which are very good for ball control like playing a game where both partners hit the ball to the back of the court and point is scored if the person hits short of the mid court line. etc., etc., In other words this is an excellent for all beginners/ intermediate players.

A basic overview:
This is a good book for beginners. It covers basic technique and some general court tactics. Squash is a difficult sport to teach via the printed medium. I have found the best way for intermediate players to improve is to watch live matches,buy or rent video tapings of the pros(and to learn how to juggle).
