Athletics/ Olympism/ Owens/ Statistics/ Awards/ Gaston Meyer - Lot 5

Athletics/ Olympism/ Owens/ Statistics/ Awards/ Gaston Meyer Two books: a) Guide Athlétique 1938 (color cover with Jesse Owens, by M. Cladé) by Gaston Meyer (1905-1985), and Jean-Jacques Lesur, with Campbell-Wood, Frémont, Keller and Luthereau. The first major bible on the sport-king published by Gaston MEYER and his friends at the CAF, featuring all regional, national and international records, champions, hopefuls and more. With a detailed overview of 1937, 222p. b) Guide Athlétique 1939, very rare, with Prudent Joye on the cover by M. Cladé. Same interest, but less voluminous, as the base is in the 1938, and so 96 pages of supplements and updates. Essential for athletics, not just middle-distance running. (18 x 14 cm)
