Where can I get a copy of "Mechanics of the Pole Vault" 1979 edition by Ganslen?

The e-mail address for ganslenkim@netscape.net doesn't work anymore.

The books are out of print some are still in stock at track and field news. Dr Ganslen from TX passed away about 1988- 89

they were very detailed and informative books.

I have had access to this book through my coach and it is amazing. It is very detailed and it's a real shame something similar but up to date isn't currently available. Looking at all the illustrations and picture sequences of the vaulters of that period is very interesting.

I know various vault sequences of bubka, tarasov etc are scattered across the net, but imagine one book with all the major male and female vaulters since say 1985(maybe '95 for females) to current day (complete with comments on each individuals own technique of course).

I would pay for that !
