IT’S A FUNNY GAME, DARTS. LIFE: The Best of Dartoid’s World
by Paul Seigel
(ISBN 0-9746462-2-9)

On a challenge, he bicycled 2,000 miles from Dublin to Moscow. He roode a dug-out canoe down Botswana’s hippo-infested Bora River. He whitewater rafted Zimbabwe’s Zambezi River. He’s ventured out into the night in Nepal, the Phillipines, Hanoi and Greenwich Village, to name but a few of the places this book will take its readers.

Is this the story of a foolhardy adventurer? Could be, but what defines this foolhardy adventurer, and earned him his nickname, is his absolute commitment to the sport of darts. When he isn’t engrossed in league competition or tournament play, he travels the world in search of the elusive holy grail – the perfect game of darts in the perfect darts-dive. Dartoid does darts, and he’s done it everywhere. Mixing humor and vignettes of local life from across the globe with useful tips for darters who find themselves in places like Bangkok or Denver looking for a round of Cricket or 501, Dartoid transports his readers on an around the world darts cruise.

“This lighthearted look at the trials and tribulations of a darter, together with some revealing episodes, reminded me of so many of my own experiences.” “Cowboy” Bob Anderson – Embassy World Professional Champion – 1988; World Master – 1986, 1987, 1988.

“A welcome whiff of fresh air….Strip away the veneer of lingering humor and be rewarded with the feeling of unmistakable kinship with dart players of all ages and races.”  Steve Dorotheo, Darts Council of the Phillipines.
