How To Ski -- Amazing book from 1913

[Bruno Schull]

Hi,

I recently was given an amazing book published in 1913 -- How to Ski by Vivian Caufield. It's in terrific conditions, full or old history, techniques, pictures, and so on.

I made a short video talking about and showing the book, but I coudn't upload it. It's a .mov about 3 minutes long...anyway to get that up on the site for people to view?

Has anybody heard of this book?
Is any body curious?
What do you want to know or see???

Ultimately, this book must be meaningful for somebody, of only as a cool piece of ski memorabilia. It's wonderful, but I'm not a collector, so I don't really know what to do with it.

Ideas???

Wow...I just gogled this book. See the link below.

The copy I have is in really good condition, much better than the picture in Amazon, which is selling for 400 $ !!!

I don't need/want to make a profit on this, but, hey, money is money.

Anybody interested for (much) less than the apparent market value?

If I can find a way to get the video up the magic of the book will be clear.

Bruno

“Probably everyone likely to read this book knows that a ski is a snowshoe or skate, and that it is a long plank turned up in the front, but they may not have a very clear idea of the use of it.”
