As for what was in the book about lane courtesy.It was in the part call "What is The Answer"(now its called the "Commonly Asked Questions"CAQ's) back in the 04-05 book. Its Under Etiquette Information it wasnt in the rules section. This is what it said.-
Observe one lane courtesy. The bowler on the right should bowl if both reach the approach at the
same time. Stay off the approach while you wait.
It wasnt a rule just a courtesy thing.
Heres the whole thing

Etiquette Information
Here are a few simple guidelines to help make your bowling experience more pleasurable.
Be ready to bowl when the pins are set. Do not bowl until the pinsetting machine has completed its
cycle and the sweepbar is raised, otherwise you may damage the ball or machine.
Do not use another player’s ball without their permission.
Do not take too long to aim or get set up when you are on the approach.
Stay on your approach while delivering the ball. Return to the settee area after making each delivery.
Observe one lane courtesy. The bowler on the right should bowl if both reach the approach at the
same time. Stay off the approach while you wait.
Good bowling requires concentration. Bowlers should always keep in mind that when others are
preparing to bowl, excessive movement or noise could be distracting. When a player is ready to
bowl, give them the courtesy of making their shot without interference, as you will want the same
courtesy when it is your turn.
Excessive “lofting†hurts your game and damages the lane.
Refrain from using abusive language or obscene gestures.
Play the game to win, but be a gracious loser.
Remember, good sportsmanship is always the key to a successful game.
