Communication is the key

Over the years, Tim Wigmore has penned several superb books, and this might be his best yet.

It's underpinned by extensive interviews with some of the greatest to have ever done it, exploring the intrigue of a form of the game that we hold so dear yet would not emerge if it were invented today.
