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 pjs
I ordered a medium and it’s much too large for me! I gave it as gift to a family member. I’m 4’11”. And 105 lbs.. I love the softness and warmth of the pjs. My daughter loves them and medium is prefect for her. The quality of the material is wonderful and designed prefect the weight of the fabric is just right!

Worth every penny!!
Oh my god it’s SO LUXURIOUS! And WARM! And heavy in a good way! I feel like a queen, I feel so happy when I look at it when I run my hand across it, when I wrap up in it. It just is stunning and cozy and perfect. The twin size almost feels extra large because I sleep comfortably under it on my queen size bed, and so far- no shedding. I haven’t washed it yet but as you can see it didn’t need it to undo any vacuum sealing- super fluffy right out of the box and no chemical smell I just put it right on my bed! I got it on sale for $43 I believe, and personally I think that’s a steal. This feels like those $200 blankets everyone talks about.

Super luxe throw!
Color: Solid - Beige, Size: Throw (50" x 60"), Color: Solid - Beige, Size: Throw (50" x 60")
This is an absolutely incredible throw/blanket, especially for the price. Beautiful neutral color that will go with any decor. Very siIky to the touch with a coolness to it (hard to describe), thick and dense, and has a wonderful weight to it. It will be so cozy and warm in the cooler months. I own four Lola blankets at over $299 each (gulp) and these absolutely rival that brand in both quality and overall value. The faux fur/mink feels exactly the same for both brands. The only visible difference is that the back side of the WDCOZY brand is lined in a different material which also has a great quality feel and texture to it, very luxe. I've already ordered several more for Christmas gifts and for our AirBNB. I photographed the WDCOZY on the left comparing it to the Lola on the right. You can see how much fluffier the WDCOZY brand is. Highly recommend!

Very real like, hi-quality fur throw - love it!
Color: Tie-dye Brown, Size: Throw (50" x 60"), Color: Tie-dye Brown, Size: Throw (50" x 60")
Love this Throw - it is much prettier in person than the photo’s online. It is super soft and fur like - and is such a high quality throw. The fur looks and feels very real and the back side is a soft velvet like fabric - yummy!!! It’s very warm and cuddly!! I love the elegant look it has on the foot of our guest room bed - it’s the perfect size for a cozy nap! All in all I think it is a great value for the price and would encourage anyone looking at it to buy it!
