Dating from the time of the Crusades, beloved of both royalty and commons, tennis possesses a timeless appeal that's irresistible to players and spectators alike. Readers of all ages will likewise be enthralled by this fascinating compilation of tennis lore and legend. Author Malcolm D. Whitman was one of the great lawn tennis players at the turn of the twentieth century: an undefeated Davis Cup champion, he continued his longstanding study of tennis after his retirement from competition at age 25. His findings confirmed his conviction that tennis represents the ideal outdoor sport, promoting alertness, endurance, and self-control, as well as mental and physical health.Whitman's outstanding contribution to the history of tennis and lawn tennis is not only a book of absorbing interest to players and followers of the game but also a valuable reference and historical record. The author's painstaking and exhaustive research involved locating original documents -- some in remote, difficult-to-access places -- and a scrupulous authentication of facts. Yet there is nothing pedantic about his entertaining and informative text. Blending fact with humor and philosophy, he recounts the origins of the game, how it was named, uses of the terms and equipment, scoring methods, and other practical and historical elements. This handsome gift edition, ideal for any tennis buff, features 29 antique illustrations.

Great For Dry Hair!
Scent: Unscented
This cream is AMAZING! Yes, it's great for skin and I love it but man it is AMAZING in my HAIR! I put a small amount on my fingers and get them wet with water then spread it through my hair, especially the dead ends....and this cream overnight did magic on my hair! A week later, not even using it every night and I have ZERO split ends! Like I didn't ever believe that split ends could be repaired! And it only takes a little bit!

Highly recommend
Scent: Unscented
I bought 3 different whipped tallow creams, and this is by far my favorite. It is fast absorbing not greasy at all. I am a cashier and handle a ton of cardboard daily, so my hands dry out fast. This has been a lifesaver for my hands! Will buy more and I highly recommend this product!

Excema problem, you need to try this
Scent: Unscented
Best cream I ever used for my eczema. Using this twice a day makes a HUGE difference. It's lightweight, and better value than most beef tallow creams. Scent is ok. This stuff really softens my skin!!! You need a use for around a month to see best results.p
