About the Book

The Joy of Bocce is the only instructional book on Bocce in America.  It covers the A to Z of the sport... rules, strategy, bocce jargon, organizing a league... all enhanced by numerous photos and illustrations.  According to Donna Allen of the United States Bocce Federation, the book “Answers yes, yes, yes, to the three questions most frequently asked of our organization.  Can you tell us how to build a court?  Can you show us where to buy equipment?  Is there a good book on the subject?”  This second edition includes feedback from readers of the author’s ezine, The Joy of Bocce Weekly, where loyal subscribers regulary submit photos and suggestions for improving the work.
