I forgot you were on here. You should be very proud of those books. And you're a helluva skilled writer. I can not recommend them highly enough to the sort of people who visit this Classic board. Cheers
Just a chance to suggest a book “Sweet Thunder” is good as far as I’ve read. I once heard John Garfield call it the best SRR bio.
Lordy you wrote those books? I’ve been advised to read them many times and I will.Congratulations on your work.

Pollack is this generations gift to boxing book publishing ... a man who talks little, offends few, ignores ignorance, and spends the time and effort to author and publish high quality works for the love of the sport as clearly there is little money in the exercise ... he also helps others utilize his publishing arm to get their product to market ... I recently read two really good books he published, Bridgham's Hurricane Hank (Armstrong) and and Botti's Thunder and Lightning about the Gatti Brothers ... other than that , allow others to fill us in ...
