The table of contents lists the following headings: Foreword Table of Contents The Equipment The Bowls The Jack Playing the Game The Players and Their Duties Play Infringements Results of an End Dress Code Duties of Officials These are followed by ten appendices that include subjects such as 'Glossary of terms and definitions', 'Equipment and line marking specifications' and 'ESMBA approved measuring equipment'. This pocket-sized booklet has fewer pages than the previous version, an improved layout and typography and is handily ring-bound to enhance its practicality. It deserves a wide readership among all short mat players, whatever their experience. Copies of this booklet are available from the ESMBA here.
