Signed and inscribed by the author. Giving added interest to this book, it is inscribed to legendary director and producer Doug Wilson. As director of ABC’s Wide World of Sports he covered ten Olympics and won seventeen Emmys. The inscription reads 'To Doug Wilson, Thanx for your help with the ABC-TV interview re: freestyle, Doug Pfeiffer, 'Father of Freestyle'.' And there is also a separate note from the author to Mr. Wilson which reads 'Doug, this book was my first book, done between 54-58. It was quite controversial at the time. Now, much of my then 'radical' ideas have been accepted as indisputable fact. Thought you might get a few moments of pleasure out of this, Best, Doug Pf.' This book was originally published in October 1958. The second printing was published in October 1959. This copy is the third printing, which was published in October 1962. As you can see from the photos, the black covers are in excellent shape, perfectly clean and with very little wear, a crease off the bottom corner of the rear cover. Ignore, if you see, the thin white lines that appears to be on the covers in the photos. They are not there! It is an issue I'm having with my scanner/printer when the covers of a book are black. You can also see them in the 5th photo where there is no book at all!). The interior of the book is also in excellent condition. The book is also very solidly bound from cover to cover. There are 97 pages and they all appear to be perfectly clean. They are also in very good condition. There is a very light shadow of a paper clip off the top edge of the black half-title page, where the note was at one time attached. There are no markings in this book. There are no attachments. And with the exception of the author's signed inscription, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. There are 325 photos in this book. They were taken by John M. Stephens who was identified as an Action Photography Specialist. Here's a little bit about the author: 'The sport received another boost in public awareness when Douglas Pfeiffer conceptualized and developed freestyle skiing competition which, over a 3-year period, was to transform the sport. It was a concept born for television viewing with lucrative spin-off effects for the skiing industry as a whole. Such was his influence, he was once described as "the voice of skiing". Nobody perhaps could have expressed Doug Pfeiffer's contribution to the sport better than his friend, Ben Rinaldo, who said, "Few people in the world of skiing, perhaps other than Sir Arnold Lunn, can claim to have invented a whole new way of expressing and satisfying a creative human drive." In 1987, Pfeiffer was inducted into the US National Ski Hall of Fame and, in 1998, in its 50th Anniversary issue, "Skiing" magazine credited him with being one of the 25 most influential people in the sport in the previous half-century.'.…

Description de la boutique
Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
