A good starting place for the newcomer to doubles

The text has enough meat in it that one can overlook the dismal pictures Perlstein used to illustrate his playbook section (only a few of the photos do not show a tennis court in half shadow). However, the instructions are clear as to what each player should do in the numerous examples presented. In other parts of the book, Perlstein covers basic tennis etiquette, rules of the game, the dynamics of playing with a partner as compared to the game of singles, and includes a very helpful chapter on troubleshooting common errors. This is a good book for a beginner/intermediate player because it covers the fundamentals of doubles in a straightforward way. I almost didn't buy it because of the poor photos; but decided to purchase it because I took a few minutes to read the text. I'm glad I did.
