About the Author

The author of "More Than Just a Game", Rod Weaver, has been actively involved with the sport of bowling for nearly a half century. Starting his career with Tenpins, he soon widened his bowling scope by migrating to the Duckpin game. A background with computers and the web led to pioneer efforts of bringing bowling to the Internet in the mid-1990s, and the development of the first true online record-keeping software application for league play.

Editorial Reviews

I enjoyed reading Rod's book! Very surprising to see the details of the long history of bowling. A lot of research went into this including many newspaper articles cited from the 1800s and 1900s.

An excellent book... it's nice to find out about bowling, when it started and the different formats and types of pins. I've been bowling for 75 years and I was a pin boy for 3 years. Anyone who has bowled the game would enjoy and learn things they didn't know about the game and how long it's been around. Highly recommend Rod's book.
