Press Release Summary: Hall of Fame Journalist and Personality Bud Collins Pens
Authoritative History and Compilation of Records

Press Release Body: New York , July 02, 2008 -- New Chapter Press today announced
the publication of its latest book - The Bud Collins History of Tennis - the most
authoritative compilation of the records and histories of tennis written by Bud
Collins, the Hall of Fame tennis journalist, broadcaster and personality. Collins,
the longtime columnist for the Boston Globe and a 1994 inductee into the
International Tennis Hall of Fame, is regarded as the sports premier journalist and
historian.

The Bud Collins History of Tennis ($35.95, 784 pages) is the ultimate compilation of
historical tennis information, including year-by-year recaps of every tennis season,
biographical sketches of every major tennis personality, as well as stats, records,
and championship rolls for all the major events. The author's personal relationships
with major tennis stars offer insights into the world of professional tennis found
nowhere else.

Among those endorsing the book include the two women who hold the Wimbledon record
for most total titles (noted by Collins in the book) - Martina Navratilova and
Billie Jean King - who both won 20 Wimbledon titles each in their careers. Said
Navratilova, \"If you know nothing about tennis, this book is for you. And if you
know everything about tennis-Hah!-Bud knows more, so this book is for you too!\" Said
King, "We can't move forward if we don't understand and appreciate our past. This
book not only provides us with accurate reporting of the rich tennis history, it
keeps us current on the progress of the sport today.\"

Collins will hold his official book signings at the International Tennis Hall of
Fame in Newport, R.I. during the Campbell's Hall of Fame Tennis Championships in
Newport, R.I. the week after Wimbledon as well as at the U.S. Open in New York,
August 25 - September 7. The book is due in bookstores later this month, but is
immediately available via on-line retailers.
