If the novice with the aidof this book studies his every posture and action, practisingthe right and with pains correcting what he learns is wrong, heis on the high road to becoming a first-class runner.”—ScottishSki Club Magazine.

The illustrations are excellent and mostcarefully chosen—in fact, the whole book from beginning toend is full of useful knowledge, and is most interestinglywritten.
