Swimming the American Crawl
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1930.
Price: $600.00
Hardcover. First edition. Fine in a very good or better dustwrapper with a few tiny nicks and tears, internally tape repaired. A very nice copy of this book by the Olympic champion, which has become very uncommon in jacket. The following year author Cyril Hume, then working on the script for a new film adaptation of *Tarzan the Ape Man*, spotted the athlete and BVD model in his hotel swimming pool and a screen legend was born.
