For those of you who enjoy the randomness of Guinness World Book of Records or Ripley's Believe It or Not, this book may be for you. Consider it the wierd sports edition. This is a collection of unusual sports, games and competitions from around the world. Each featured sport is given a brief history, where it originates and a rough outline of the rules (plus a few photos.)
What I liked about this book is that you can flip to any page and learn about some zany sport. Some I'd love to see in action -- Speedball, Sepak Takraw, and Unicycle Basketball. Others I'd want to stay as far away as possible -- Egg throwing, Spitting contests and Outhouse racing.
