Subject: Humour

Introduction

'Bowls humour' is a popular search term that brings many visitors to my site, but compiling a list of humorous bowls books was not entirely straghtforward. For while many titles are automatic choices for this category, some, such as John Snell's So You Want to Be a Skip . . . , merely contain elements of humour (as cartoons) in a secondary role to the main objective, while others, such as Gauvinier Takes to Bowls, are perhaps best described as lighthearted rather than humorous. In the end I decided to limit this list to those books where humour is the main ingredient; even so it accounts for a surprisingly high seven per cent of all books on the site.

Books marked with an asterisk are also listed in the Fiction category to reflect their 'invented story' characteristic.
