J. T. Hankinson on Sport: 6 Volumes

By J. T. Hankinson

This 6-volume set, first published between 1946 and 1951, was groundbreaking at the time for its use of action photographs to illustrate sporting techniques. J. T. Hankinson was Sports Master at a boys' school and the pupils were pictured in the photographs to accompany his coaching methods. The first four books on team sports were primarily aimed at schools but contained enough instructional detail they would also have appealed to more mature players wanting to improve their game. The following two covering individual sports also had wide appeal. Today they can be viewed as a historical record of coaching style and school sport in the mid-twentieth century.
