Book Description
The book: "Sands of Time" The History of BEACH VOLLEYBALL, Volume #1: 1895-1969 is the first book that has been devoted primarily to the history of BEACH VOLLEYBALL! There are 272 pages of beach volleyball stories and anecdotes, along with tournament results. The book includes nearly 500 photographs of the events, venues and players of BEACH VOLLEYBALL.
In the first chapter, pages 1-28, cover the first 50 years of volleyball. Most of this information relates to the indoor game. The indoor game was the "motivation" for the game of "BEACH VOLLEYBALL." In order to document the history of BEACH VOLLEYBALL, it was important to illustrate its original "roots."
The remaining 244 pages cover BEACH VOLLEYBALL, beginning with the second chapter, revealing the "Birth" of BEACH VOLLEYBALL and illustrating how the indoor game contributed to the "conception" of the beach game.
You are then guided up to and through beach volleyball's "Golden" years" of the 1950's in the third chapter. The fourth chapter covers the 1960's, referred to as the "Adolescent" years of BEACH VOLLEYBALL.
Some of the most amazing beach volleyball stories and events are described along with the nearly 500 PHOTOGRAPHS of the people and events involved.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Sands of Time: The History of Beach Volleyball, Vol. 3: 1990-2004 (Paperback)
In terms of one-of-a-kind photos, this book has it all. I still can't figure out how this guy got his hands on some of these pictures, but I'm glad he did. The only thing that I thought was lacking was any sort of imaginative text, but I guess the series is intended to be more of a beach volleyball "almanac" than the latest John Irving masterpiece. I grew up playing beach volleyball in the 70's, 80's and 90's in Santa Monica and had the pleasure of being annihilated by some of the main characters (Stoklos, Menges, Lee, Gage, etc.). As a player or even just an afficionado, "The History of Beach Volleyball" (any volume) is a must!
