“Let’s Get Cracking! The How-To Book of Bullwhip Skills,” has been christened the “bullwhip bible” by Paul F. McDonald, who published his comprehensive review of Robert Dante’s new book on Amazon.com and on his Blog at http://dedalusenterprises.blogspot.com/</a>.
McDonald writes, “With an art as demanding, precise, and potentially dangerous as whipcraft, sometimes an expertly written guide is necessary. Happily, Robert Dante is there to fill such a void. As a three-time World Record breaker as well as professional performer, he is in an excellent position to write one of the first bullwhip bibles, and that's precisely what he did.”
”’Let's Get Cracking: The How-To Book of Bullwhip Skills’ is an excellent treatise that offers something to beginner and expert alike, covers practically every aspect of whipcraft and, best of all, provides something of a philosophical backdrop to support the whole thing,” McDonald writes.
Even the book’s photos and illustrations came in for praise from McDonald: “From start to finish, Let's Get Cracking is imbued with a sense of what Dante calls ‘Dancing on the Edge.’ It is what he and his daring partner Tina do for a living, and its practically palpable in the prose. And in the pictures too, which are every bit as good. Whipcraft photography could probably merit its own book, actually.”
Dante’s book was recently adopted by the Society of American Whip Artistry as its “official instructional text.” The book is available at Amazon.com and at http://www.bullwhip.biz/</a> for $16.95 plus shipping.
