Recently I have been getting a number of inquiries about my book,
ANYONE CA RIDE A UNICYCLE. Here is some infrmation for those interested in
acquiring it.

Miyata and I are considering publishing a new edition if I ever have time to
deal with it, but this might take quite a while. In the meantime,
to get a photocopy, please do the following.

1. Send me US$15 or equivalent in cash (cashing a check costs more
than that in Japan!).
2. Let me know your snailmail address.

I will airmail you a copy as soon as I know your address and you inform me
that the payment hs been sent.

Some of the pictures in that book have been place on the unicycling
home page.

Here is a quote from the unciyling FAQ describing the book.

o 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:
