description: A fun, visual book exploring the art, architecture and style of America's mid-century obsession: Bowling! Bowlarama: The Architecture of Mid-Century Bowling takes aim at the obsession that swept the post-war nation: bowling! More than just a sport or a hobby, bowling became the ultimate modern lifestyle for Americans savoring the boom years that followed World War II.
