Hi All,
Does anyone know where to purchase this book? According to Amazon, it starts at nearly $700.00.
Surely there is one on a shelf somewhere…
Thanks, fg
There’s a seller on eBay (not me) with five of them for $75.00 each.

Unfortunately, not the same book. Way better price, though. I wonder what has made the other one so expensive?
Wow!
I think the first one is out of print–and perhaps has become a bit of a collectors’ item. My understanding is that the second one (Modern Gymnastics) is a newer edition of the first, but I haven’t checked that for myself. Anyone seen both and can comment?

“I am excited that my new book is finally ready,” said Jim. “I have revised and expanded my original book on gymnastic jumping. The color-coded diagrams and montage-style photos show the reader exactly what I mean when I describe a gymnastic, and the expert riders in the photos give the reader excellent visual role models.”
You can buy the original for your smartphone or nook for 9.00. I bought a printed copy about a year ago and I definitely didn’t pay more than 25.00. Unfortunately my copy was left in the rain ringside at the barn and was destroyed :(. Needless to say i was shocked to see how much it cost to replace it!
