Flick books, or flip books, have a sequence of images in them, and they show some form of animation when you flick through the pages.
Most flick books are quite small, so this 'Stroke Minder' range is quite unusual. Made about 20 years ago (maybe when video technology was not so advanced?) each flick book shows a particular golf shot. The books are quite large, and the quality is very high. Each book can be turned over, to reveal a second animation. These books use this second animation to show the same golf shot but from a different angle.
The animations feature the US Open winner, Gene Littler. He won the Open in 1961.
These books were originally published in 1962, but the ones shown here were published in 1978, and purchased in 1992.
Each animation consists of 111 images and in the written instructions at the front, the authors are able refer to a specific images simply by the page number. You can then do to that page, in order to see the point they are making. So you can use the book in two ways - just watching the animation, and then looking in detail at individual images.
According to Wikipedia, the first flick book appeared in 1868, and the German word for these - daumenkino - literally means thumb cinema!
