The Wizard of Foz - Dick Fosbury's One-Man High-Jump Revolution de Welch, Bob and Dick Fosbury - 2018

New York: Skyhorse Publishing, 2018. Second printing. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. Signed and inscribed by Dick Foasbury and Bob Welch on the title page, "To Bill - May you soar like Foz!" and dated Oct 2018. Black hardcover with silver spine titles, 2nd printing in dustjacket. A very good copy with minimal wear to the spine tips. Interior is clean and unmarked other than the signatures. The book opens widely at the half title page, but the binding is solid, as are the hinges. The unclipped jacket is also very good- clean and bright with minimal edgewear. 282 pp., indexed, black and white photo gathering at the center. Fosbury's passing in early 2023 was a blow to the track and field community in Oregon, where he pioneered the Fosbury Flop - used by most competitors in the high jump to this day.
