It gives fresh insight into the vital problems of Conversationship, Limelight Play, Woomanship, Writership, New Statesmanship, Telephone Management, and Actorship. #2 The Theory & Practice of GAMESMANSHIP or The Art of Winning Games Without Actually Cheating By Stephen Potter Illustrated by Lt-Col. Frank Wilson Henry Holt and Company, New York, NY, No DateHardcover, very good condition, dust jacket is fair, jacket is protected in recycled clear archival sleeveGamesmanship as a civilized art is as old as the controlled competitive spirit in man. It is polite psychological warfare. It is the moral equivalent of assault and battery. It is, as the subtitle of this book points out, The Art of Winning Games Without Actually Cheating.Anyone who has ever played any game for keeps has discovered the Gamesman either in himself or in an opponent. In its simplest terms the poker player's bluff is a device of gamesmanship.Here, for the first time, the American public is "allowed in" on the hitherto closely guarded science of "Gamesmanship" as perfected by two English sportsmen, Stephen Potter and Sir.
