A propos de cet article

The Theory and Practice of Gamesmanship: Or, The Art of Winning Games Without Actually Cheating by Stephen Potter. Illustrated by Lt.-Col. Frank Wilson. Henry Holt and Company, New York — no date / printing statement noted. Book: Very Good; Tight, solid hardcover copy in green cloth boards with black lettering. Binding very tight, which is a strong condition point.Boards slightly soiled and some light edge and spinewear, corners maybe bumped a touch. Text block clean and unmarked except for owner's name on the first free endpaper. Pages uniformly lightly toned. No dust jacket. (see photos) Printing identification note: The Henry Holt edition is commonly cataloged as the first American edition, originally published in 1947. However, because your copy has no date or printing statement, safest listing language is: “Henry Holt hardcover; no date or printing statement noted.” Public records identify Henry Holt copies from 1947 and note Frank Wilson as illustrator. Stephen Potter’s classic comic treatise on “gamesmanship” explains the art of gaining psychological advantage in games and social competition without technically cheating. Illustrated by Lt.-Col. Frank Wilson, this witty mid-century satire helped popularize the term “gamesmanship” and remains appealing to readers of British humor, sports humor, social satire, and classic comic essays.…

Description de la boutique

My late wife and I spent a lot of time accumulating books, especially during COVID. With her gone, the books are a reminder of her. Hence, it's time for me to Turn the Page. Update: Please note I have recently moved to New Mexico (September 2026) where our chihuahua, Pedro, will no longer have to slog through snow and ice - the state where my beloved wife and his mommy lived before we met. Thank you for all your orders since opening this storefront!
