This is a great book. I paid $18.95 for it. I gave it a quick read. It's an excellent book for any bowler who is trying to find direction, re-direction, or get to the next level in the sport. It has a great section on "BURN OUT". Identifying it, and dealing with it.
If you are interested in the book PM me, I'm asking $12.95 (Paypal only), which includes shipping (USPS Media Mail).
Here's some verbiage from the publisher...
