I've introduced this topic to the latest edition of my site for two reasons: firstly, to provide information, albeit limited, for those visitors who are involved with greenkeeping; and secondly, for the sake of 'completeness' in the broader subject of 'books on bowls'.
I have to admit that my interest in books on bowling greens is minimal and doesn't extend to collecting them. However, my research into bowls books has inevitably led to the discovery of a few relevant titles, and so far I've found seven books (one an ebook) and one video that deal exclusively with bowling greens and these are listed below. There are perhaps a dozen or more books that include sections on bowling greens as part of a more general work.
