Fine/very good. 4to 111 pages black cloth; dj torn on rear panel edgeworn <br/><br/>Inscribed by Toller in 1976 on the half-title page to Travis Randy. Toller Cranston was a prominent Canadian figure skater. He won the 19711976 Canadian national championships the 1974 World bronze medal and the 1976 Olympic bronze medal. Despite never winning at the World Figure Skating Championships due to his poor compulsory figures he won the small medal for free skating at the 1972 and 1974 championships. Cranston is credited by many with having brought a new level of artistry to men's figure skating. . He quickly gained a reputation as the most innovative and exciting artistic skater of his time one of the first to emphasize use of the whole body to express the music as well as to execute skating moves in best form to lie down while sliding down the ice and to wear elaborate costumes.13 He was particularly known for the quality and inventiveness of his spins which were widely copied by other skaters. The quality of his precision landings and inventive choreography was topped by his combination jumps that included triple revolution jumps - Wikipedia." Gage Publishing Limited hardcover
