About This Item

New York: D. Appleton & Company, 1894. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First Appleton edition, "revised to date" from the 1893 first edition published in Hartford. 12mo. 274pp., illustrated with diagrams. Blue cloth gilt illustrated on the front board with the image of a football player. Fine in a very good original unprinted paper dustwrapper, with a piece cut away on the spine in order to reveal the title, as issued, and with some small chips and tears especially near the crown. One of the scarcest, earliest, and most important books on the game of American Football. Grobani *Guide to Football Literature* I-6 (second edition). Only the third clothbound book solely devoted to American football. Very scarce, especially in jacket, we've had one other copy thus.
