Beach Volleyball

by: Karch Kiraly, Byron Shewman
Si eres un principiante del voly de playa, o aún si eres un experto, este libro debería estar en tu colección. Está "salpicado" con interesantes anécdotas de la historia de este deporte y con descripciónes de las caracteristicas de algunos famosos jugadores del pasado reciente (mediados-finales de los 90's).
Si acaso quieres seguir los consejos técnicos ofrecidos es probable que las fotografias que los acompañan te defrauden. Son en blanco y negro y no de muy buena calidad.
Por si no estás familiarizado con los términos de la jerga del voly de playa, el libro ofrece las descripciones de los mismos junto al lugar en donde aparecen.
