Better Bowling, a quick way.  By Ned Day. Unpaginated, [38 ff].  Illustrated throughout with photographs.  Folio, 355 x 255 mm, bound in publisher’s photomontage illustrated wrappers.  [New York: Sun Dial Press, 1939].

First Edition.  A captivating photobook in the guise of a bowling instructional.  Stop motion photography demonstrate proper form and techniques to become a ‘better’ bowler.  However, its true appeal is the rich gravure photographs themselves, a sentiment not lost on author and expert bowler Ned Day, as the front past-down illustrates the elaborate set-up for the camera to capture the images.  Some minimal creasing and insignificant stains to the cover, else fine.
