    Anyone read Ferdie Pacheco's last book (Blood In My Coffee)? If so how was it?

    see also the TROVE, Australia... Home - Trove (nla.gov.au)
    search whom ever you want, pick Newspapers & Gazettes and then the Year Timeline... a good load of Boxing Reports here too.

    I should add, that the odds are better IF said searches were involved in fights or would be fights with Auzzie fighters, example Dave Sands.

    example of the Cogs of Business in Motion... 'preseved & secured' for such Big Money fights...

    Thanks bro. Trove is excellent and, among other newspaper sources utilised, it also falls under this site, Elephind:-

    I’ll put forward my own book which some on this forum have read. It’s about Eder Jofre, so perhaps more appealing to those who like some of the smaller weight classes, Latin American fighters, or the 50s-70s era.

    Well that’s a pleasant title, lol.

    I like my coffee with cream and sugar, but to each his own.

    You should also read his book on Wilfredo Gomez, on Macho Camacho and the one on Alexis Arguello, all are excellent!

    That’s an awesome source Freddy. Thank you.

    I just a had a quick look. Without checking more thoroughly, can I be lazy and ask:- So it’s free to register and is there some sort of “virtual” borrowing facility in play where you can access the full text for a limited time?

    I see they have Corbett‘s THE ROAR OF THE CROWD with some limited preview pages.

    If I sign up, I guess (hope) that would allow full access to same via “borrowing” for free?

    Thanks in advance.
