Caricatures of Pro Bowlers
« on: April 01, 2004, 08:07:37 AM »
There's a book I've had for years that has lots of great caricatures of pro bowlers in it.  The text of the book is somewhat dated, and the bowlers are mostly old-timers now, but the drawings are worth the price.  My favorites are Marshall Holman with smoke coming out of his ears, and Mark Roth crossed with a rhinoceros.  It's called "How to Talk Bowling" by Dawson Taylor, illustrated by Taylor Jones.  Earl Anthony wrote the Foreword, so it has a good imprimatur.  Here's a link to a place to find it:
