Electronic Acro Books for Downloading

	These are some books that I had found on the internet several years ago. The websites that had them are no longer online. The books were photographed as either jpegs or gif images. The text for the books are legible. Two of the books have their text in German. One book was set up as an HTML page with gif inserts. All the books are profusely illustrated, and from them I have gained many of the illustrations used for this website. If you have a dial up connection it will take several minutes to download.
	All the books are compressed with Win Zip. You can get Win Zip from clicking the Winzip logo on the left.
	USSAF Acrobatics File size: 4 MB. This book used to be the USSAF Table of Difficulties. It broke up skills by an "A", "B", and "C" difficulties. Dr. Criley had this on his WAIKIKI ACROBATIC website, which seems to be offline now. The book is all illustrations, with no text. Dr. Criley once told me that the figures were drawn by a German artist. It would be great for USAG Acro to reuse these illustrations in their JO Program. Black and white line drawings in JPEG format.
	Creating Gymnastics Pyramids and Balances File size: 1.9 MB. I don't remember where I found this book. It, too, is filled with illustrations, but also has some text. Many gymnastics style large pyramids, as well as cheerleading style pyramids. Black and white line drawings in GIF format.

	Acrobatik Files size: 1.5 MB. Michael Blume's "Acrobatik" is a German book. The text is there, but all in German. Illustrations are both photos and black and white line drawings in GIF format. Even if you can not read the text, the illustrations are worth collecting.
	Turneninbeeld File size: 11 MB. This will take awhile to download with dial up modems. Another book in German. Illustrations are both photographs and black and white line drawings. I cleaned up and straightened the gif files, and removed the html files that it used to come with. Hugo, if you are reading this, please forgive me. If anyone is willing to translate the book into English I would be delighted. The book is an educator's text on how to train gymnastics European style. It includes acro and gymnastics.
