Bowled Over harks back to an earlier era when a night on the town meant heading to a gleaming bowling emporium for stiff competition, fine cuisine, and fancy cocktails. Packed with chapters on bowling's history, fashion, champs, pinboys, and alley architecture and featuring over 100 vintage images culled from the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame's archives, this colorful compendium is a punchy tribute to the ever-popular tradition and culture of bowling.
