A guide to jumps, spins & lifts

This is a simple book, but good for those who know what they like--but don't necessarily know what they're seeing. The title is a bit misleading, in that the book pretty much only deals with 3 aspects of figure skating--jumps, spins and pairs lifts. However, it does offer concise definitions and black-and-white drawings of those, and I found the explanations clear and useful.
