Apparent first printing. 33 pp., printed recto only, over 50 b&w photos, oversize book, about 8 X 11 inches, gray softcover with illustrated front cover. This is a specialized book giving a short course on how police officers should use jiu jitsu to deal with "taking down" gunmen, e.g. searching, subduing, handcuffing, etc. Many detailed, step-by-step photos. VG copy with no owner's name, no tears, minor creasing, light wear, a bit of sunning to covers. Centre leaf loose, otherwise we would classify this as Nearly Fine due to the exceptionally nice condition of the fragile covers. Interesting and scarce book. Seller Inventory # 776063
