Boxing books

Thanks McGrain.
I don't want to violate the site's policy against advertising.
I'd be happy to start a thread on "Sorcery" - do you think the administrators would object?

 

McGrain. On Amazon and doing a UK Google search it seems the book isn't available yet to buy for £££. Only overseas shipping at the moment and it's obviously $$$$.

 

It's listed on many UK sites but most say "not yet available"

The book certainly gets great reviews. I actually posted about the book about 4-5 days ago and was amazed Steve posted today. I checked out his profile and realised he was the author.

 

Just ordered my copy from the US, welcome aboard Steve!

 

I just received my copy from Amazon.com I almost finished the whole thing in a day. It's a great book

Anyone read this book? The author has posted on here recently and it's available through him and Amazon. Not widely available. It seems to recieve great reviews.

 

Im gunna get that,

 

The author has posted on here and has his own site selling it. Only problem is that I've not see it available in British Pounds, only Dollars, $30 plus $12 shipping. Thats rather costly for a book, although I appreciate it's rare and not widely available.

Really? Not the greatest of deals! Yeah, i remember him posting the other day, would like to get it though. We'll see!

 

Hi Guys, the author of the Langfore book here.

I actually think the $29.95 price is a bargain in terms of the book itself. It's a high-quality 429 page hardcover with dust jacket, and contains 98 photographs, many never published before, and the majority of which are on glossy paper. The shipping within the U.S. runs $3.50. Unfortunately, it does cost me $11.95 (I rounded up to $12) to ship the book internationally, that's my cost. I wish it wasn't so expensive.

I have been working with the publisher to get a deal in place to make the book available to order in the U.K. and Australia on a print-on-demand basis and I'll check on that and post an update. I believe the price of the book itself has to be a little higher in that case though, but the shipping cost would obviously be less. The biggest problem I have with the print-on-demand setup in those two countries though is that we won't be able to have any of the photos on glossy paper.

The book has received very positive reviews of late in both The Ring, and most recently Boxing Monthly. Here's a review from the Fall 2008 issue of The Ring:

and I'll work with you on an overall price for the book including shipping if I can to help make it a little more economical for you.

 

Dont worry, i will get the book, just might be a little while, not LONG though. Keep in touch on with this forum, if you want an opinion i'll gladly give one. Someone here give an opinion on it that made me wanna get it. Lookin forward to it.

 

Tunney was a VERY VERY VERY GOOD read IMO and should be read by anyone intrested in boxing
