Sport Psychology Library: Bowling (Paperback)
~ Fred Borden, Jeri Edwards Dr. Eric S Lasser (Author)

Dr. Dean is good but this is the best psychology book on bowling out.

Probably well worth the $20.  

Pick up Focused for Bowling while you're there and get the free shipping.....I think it was $13-14......although I bought it several years ago from Overstock for under $10.

Maybe one day I'll actually read it!
