My brother has a color scanner, and I have the book, so I could scan it. I can’t
store it, however, because I’m running out of disk space here at Kent. If
someone can store it and Jack works things out with Miyata we’ll be set.

I recently posted a notice about the above book, sayng that it costs $10
including airmail. That was a mistake. It’s $15. Here are some more details
taken from the FAQ.
o From IUF and Miyata
# Anyone Can Ride a Unicycle by Jack Halpern
For the material it covers this is the best book on
unicycling. In particular, book tells how to learn to
ride, as well as a variety of beginning and intermediate
skills. It also covers practical issues like unicycling
attire, adjusting the unicycle, and theory.
The book is based on what are considered the most
effective ways of learning. John Foss helped a lot with
reviewing the manuscript and by providing excellent
photographs. Much credit is also due to Bill Jenack,the
founder of modern unicycling, who has developed most of
the techniques introduced in the book.
The book comes with Miyata unicycles, and you can also get
it from Jack Halpern while supplies last. Miyata is out of
stock at the moment, and has no definite plans at this
time to reprint it. In the meantime, he will be glad to
send you photocopies for $15, including airmail.
The amount you send need not be $15 exactly if you send it
in another currency. You should send this in cash form,
not a check, since it is very difficult to cash a check in
dollars in Japan. Supplies are short, so you may want to
send e-mail to Jack before sending cash to verify
availability. His address is:
