Dartoid and I have been friends since the early days of the old North American Open. I have watched him compete and count myself among the many who enjoy reading his column. But more than any of his columns this little book struck a cord with me. While I doubt that the ideas, or any others for that matter, will help Dartoid's game, many of them are principles I now practice. They are presented in Dartoid's unique humorous easy-to-read style and are certain to improve your health and the way you feel and throw.

This is Dartoid’s most recent and tiniest work of darts fiction and we should indeed be grateful for the latter. I can solemnly attest that it is, in my very humble opinion, quite the most historically inaccurate and stupid thing that anyone has ever put to paper. Despite his advance apologies to his God, and many others, I am certain that they are insufficient to prevent him from being cast into Hades when the Grim Reaper eventually comes to call. Having said that, IT IS FUN!!!

More than anyone, Dartoid has found a way to capture the spirit of the ever-evolving sport of darts – from its roots amidst the smoke and camaraderie of the pub to the spotlight of the professional stage where darts is a business and the very best can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. 2008 – The Year in Darts is a good read, a solid history, and certain to bring many smiles along the way.

On a challenge, he bicycled 2,000 miles from Dublin to Moscow. He rode a dugout canoe down Botswana's hippo-infested Bora River. He whitewater rafted down Zimbabwe's mighty Zambezi River. He's been around the world. But what defines this adventure traveler, and earned him his pen name, is his absolute commitment to the sport of darts. He travels the world in search of the the perfect game in the perfect darts-dive. And, of course, the perfect beer. In a phrase, Dartoid does darts. And he writes about doing it with the wit and passion that has become his trademark in the acclaimed syndicated column "Dartoid's World". This book is a unique look at one man's love of the sport of darts and the ceaseless journey of self discovery that the sport offers to him and to his readers. Come, travel the world with Dartoid.
