The Official Rules of Punch-Buggy
by Ian Finlayson and Michael D. Lockhart,
$16.95CDN, $14.95US perfect-bound paperback, 64 Pages


PENTICTON, BRITISH COLUMBIA - With the release of the new Volkswagen Beetle
in North America, popular interest in the Beetle phenomenon has sparked a
massive resurgence of Beetle-Mania. Hand in hand with Beetle-Mania has come
a renewed interest in the game of Punch-Buggy. But one question remains;
how does one play Punch-Buggy APPROPRIATELY?

The Official Rules of Punch-Buggy fills the void that has been present
since the game of Punch-Buggy emerged during the Beetle-Mania of the '50's,
'60's, and '70's. It is the definitive resource for punch-buggy veterans
and novices
alike, and no true fan will want to be without it. Of course, it also
happens to be the only resource available to Punch-Buggy enthusiasts.

Authors Ian Finlayson and Michael D. Lockhart have thoroughly fabricated
The Official Rules of Punch-Buggy to provide players, fans, and gift-givers
with an hilarious exploration of the origins of the punching game in parody
of academic literature. By fictitiously tracing the roots of Punch-Buggy as
far
back as the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Israel and through it's
evolution into the game that is loved and played by - well, by a bunch of
people - players and fans are provided with a completely false sense of
historical connection. In addition, this book supplies over thirty pages of
rules, in standard cod-rules
format, covering every major version of the game, from the classic game to
the latest developments in the Punch-Buggy evolution. Readers can
conveniently find answers to their game-play quandaries as well as explore
new possibilities in Punch-Buggy play for a new generation of Beetles. And,
as if this wasn't
enough, The Official Rules of Punch-Buggy also includes a guide to
international play and sections that lead advanced players through mental
and physical training techniques designed to lift the level of Punch-
Buggy play to new heights. Printed on 70lb paper, perfect-bound with
full-color illustrations, this edition is perfect for glove boxes,
desktops, coffee tables, purses, back pockets - you get the idea.
