How to land on a grass airstrip

Can anybody point out a good bibliography or article that describes the
differences in landing on a grass airstrip for the first time, tips and
advices? Thanks
What sort of differences? Landing on grass isn't much different than
hard surface unless the grass is very tall, very wet, or hiding mud. :-)
A well-maintained grass runway is a pleasure to use. Quieter and softer
than asphalt and much cooler in the hot summer sun. You may have
slightly longer take-off rolls, but the difference isn't huge barring
what I mentioned above.
