The book was self-published, and reflected the production quality of someone (me) who had rather limited access to resources at the time. It did surprisingly well, however, and went through four printings when I initially anticipated only two. The fourth sold out in the early '90s, at which time I decided it was time for a slick and ambitious new edition, with better paper, better typefaces, better binding, all the new moves, and best of all, an innovative way of presenting instructional photos.
My ambitions got ahead of me. Life intervened. I turned to other things that deserved higher priority, so the book project languished. But, with the rise of the Internet, an increasing number of questions about frisbie physics have been sent to me, often from people who already possess a lot more knowledge about physics and aerodynamics than I can ever hope to accumulate. I hope this Internet edtion will provide some of the answers they are looking for, and I hope that people with even better descriptions will make themselves known to me, and by doing so, allow me to pass on their knowledge.
And folks, keep in mind that the "perfect is the enemy of the good."
I just wanted to get this "out there," rather than spend lots of time editing
the old version when I could be making something newer. Consequently, even
though the text still refers refers to them, this Internet edition of Frisbie:
Beyond Catch and Throw has no illustrations.
