It's good but i still can't play well, 02 Jan 1999
This book is very detailed and has many well points the help rise the level of your game. It is good to read but it didn't help me when I actually went to the table.

Terrific book. Many step by step pictures. Much more modern book than you can find anywhere else. Much better than Scott Preiss' book (don't get that one!!) I don't have Seemiller's book so I can't compare them. Written at a beginner to intermediate level and has a nice section on strategies against different styles of players. I definitely recommend this book for somebody who wants to learn table tennis seriously: it's cheaper than an hour of coaching, and really cheap compared to equipment.
A must have for any new players., 05 Jun 1999
This is a good book which goes through the basic and advenced strokes of the game including how to be a world champion. The only bad thing is having to read and understand all those confusing directions about where to move your paddle and your hand.
Good value for the money however I still can't play well, 30 Dec 1998
It is a very well organized book divided into easy reading catagories. The illustrations could use a bit of work however it was a overall average book.
A " MUST READ" for all Table Tennis enthusiasts., 30 Apr 1998
I am a Singaporean. You do not find many books on Table Tennis on sale here. So when I went to London, I bought 3 different books. Of the 3,I found the book by Dan Seemiller the most comprhensive and informative.
Before, I had a lot of problems initiating an attack against opponents who utilise heavy underspin pushes and chops. Dan's book helped me master the skill of looping against underspin and thereby allowing me to initiate the attack. I found that a lot of players are not able to counter the spinny arch loop. As a result, I am more confident of my strokes and have moved a couple of rungs above my opponents.
I would like to recommend this book to all who wish to improve and perfect their game of Table Tennis.
Get it., 13 Dec 2005
This book is like a long rally between an old school hard bat chopper and a young buck fast glue attacker - a compelling, fierce, passionate story of give and take, of missed opportunities and fizzing triumphs all woven together with guts and guile.
I loved the glimpse of an age past, of ping-pong hustlers, pimple artistes and the unwelcome thrust of the new. If you love the game of table tennis, like a bit of spice in your writing and are a sucker for richly-drawn characters of old, go nowhere else.
