Don't Bother buying this book.
I was hoping that this book would have some historical background about Shakespeare.It's a made up tale with very little factual background.It's of no use for a Shakespearean historical researcher.It's also over-priced.

Excerpt: The Shetland football team represents the islands of Shetland, Scotland. It is not a member of FIFA or UEFA and is therefore not eligible to enter the World Cup or the European Championships. The team regularly compete in the Island Games. Shetland normally play their home matches at Gilbertson Park (capacity unknown, highest attendance approximately 5000) in Lerwick. Some matches, particularly friendlies, are occasionally played elsewhere, often at Seafield and Harbison Park. They also go on tour to play pre-season friendlies against Highland League clubs in July. They are not part of FIFA or UEFA meaning they do not have much regular games. The latest most noticeable event to take place in Shetland was the Island Games with many of the group matches being played on Pitches all around Shetland and the final taking place on Gilbertson Park (sometimes referred to as "the Gibbie").

Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Continental Cup of Curling is a curling tournament held annually between teams from North America against teams from the rest of the world. Each side is represented by six teams (three women's teams and three men's teams), and compete using a unique points system. The tournament is modeled after golf's Ryder Cup. The event is held at the beginning of the curling season and is not held in the same season as the Olympics. Each side is represented by six teams - for the North Americans, four (two of each gender) are determined by the Canadian Curling Association based on recent participation at either the Canada Cup of Curling, the World Curling Championship, or the Olympic Winter Games. The other two North American teams are determined by the United States Curling Association. The World Curling Federation determines the six rinks representing Team World for the event. There are four main competitions for the event, and for either side to claim the Continental Cup, 201 points must be attained from these competitions. The first event is the mixed doubles event, a six-end game with two rocks in play at the start of each end (one for each team). Each team consists of two sweepers and two throwers, of which one man and one woman is to play each position. There are six mixed doubles matches, with six points given for a win in each match (or three points for both teams in the event of a tie after six ends). By tradition, each men's rink is paired with a women's rink to make two teams for this event, with each mixed team being given as the names of the two throwers. Prior to 2007, all 24 players on each side must play in either a sweeping or throwing role starting in 2007, sweepers were eliminated to create a true "doubles" game, and any sweeping ...

Very Interesting
If you like learning about new things and want to learn about curling and also about Superior, Wisconsin, this is a great place to start.

This book was enjoyable and fun to follow from beginning to end.

It is not a good book for just curling in general beacause it focuses on Superior,MI's curling team and history.But it was O.K. for the info I wanted, but the book not what I was looking for.
