Little(r) Book of Darts by Joe Shooman

The Little(r) Book of Darts is a celebration of the world of darts, packed full of trivia, quizzes and games that embodies the drama, humour, fun and downright chaos that is at the very heart of the arrows experience.

Covering everything from Bullseye, the link between Dexy’s Midnight Runners and Jocky Wilson, how Michael van Gerwen lost his hair, the real reason Gerwyn Price wears industrial-sized ear defenders and what to wear to impress your boss when they catch you chugging a jug of beer in the crowd, this is the embodiment of the magic that these highly trained athletes bring to the oche day after day.

A celebration of all things darts packed full of trivia and quizzes that covers everything from Bullseye, Eric Bristow and Bobby George to Luke Littler, Michael van Gerwen and Phil Taylor.
