About This Item
N. Y.: Marshall Stillman Association, 1919. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good. First printing. 94 pp., 102 photo illustrations demonstrating techniques, octavo, loose-leaf text with two-hole punch, bound in dark green cloth covers with two snap-rings. Book is complete and original with both snap-rings present and functional, though a bit stiff. Some of the punch-holes are torn, but the text is quite fresh and bright. Chapters include: Five Sub-Conscious Lessons in Boxing, Eight bone-breaking holds and releases, Jiu Jitsu and Eight holds in standing wrestling. Laid in: original 4 page (8 X 10 inch) promo material that was included with the original book when sent "on approval". Also, the original bill from Marshall Stillman to the original owner of the book, dated 1920, in the original envelope self-addressed to Marshall Stillman Association New York. It appears that the original owner did not send payment! A Very Good copy with light wear to the covers at tips, some rusting to the rings but no serious flaws. Very scarce item, especially with the original ephemera present.
