The Canadian Curler's Manual Or, an account of curling, as practised in Canada: with remarks on the history of the game

"The Canadian Curler's Manual" by James Bicket is like a time capsule that teaches you everything about curling back in the 1800s in Canada. It's a handbook that goes over the rules of the sport, how to play it well, the equipment involved, and the history of curling, especially around the Toronto Curling Club. Think of it as a guide for people who wanted to learn how to curl or to get better at the sport. The book also explains where curling came from (Scotland!) and how it became a favorite winter activity in Canada, building communities of players along the way. It’s like stepping back in time to when curling was just becoming a big deal in Canada, offering not just instructions but also a look at how the sport helped people connect.
