Stephen Meredith Potter (1 February 1900 2 December 1969) was a British writer best known for his parodies of self-help books, and their film and television derivatives. The Theory and Practice of Gamesmanship: Or the Art of Winning Games Without Actually Cheating, illustrated by Frank Wilson, was published in 1947, and sold prodigiously. It was the first of his series of books purporting to teach ploys for manipulating one's associates, making them feel inferior and thus gaining the status of being one-up on them. From this book, the term "Gamesmanship" entered the English language. This Omnibus edition includes all four upmanship books. Illustrator: Lt-Col. Frank Wilson. Quantity Available: 1.
