Vintage and out of print, this is a thoroughly enjoyable read for any marble collector - While it might lack in age-appropriateness, this children's book more than makes up for in subject matter!

There was one thing Tip wanted more than anything else - to learn how to play marbles well. Collectors will delight in Tip's marble-centric adventures; vintage marbles are discovered - including a sulphide, chinas and a "Realie" - Tip's real aggie shooter, He learns how to play gleaning wisdom from "The Great El-Mar" (a professional magician Tip is assistant to) - how to lag, how to put backspin on a shot, shooting with your back knuckles only on the ground for greater distance, etc. Numerous games among friends are recounted...then Tip goes on to win the marble championship!

The book is full of fascinating information about marbles, but this is secondary to a fast-moving story with good characterization. Hardcover, prior library copy with the usual markings - good condition. 218 pages.
