That book depository website seems the best I can find atm across the board. Any other suggestions by anyone?
Thought I'd post some of my Muhammad Ali books. This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
This book I got today. And, amazingly, it only cost me 1p with £2.80 postage from a seller from Amazon. Brand new (hardback). The seller has more if anyone wants one. It's a fantastic photo book. A stunning photographic portrait of the Olympic gold medalist, heavyweight champion and 20th-century icon Muhammad Ali. Astonishingly intimate images by some of the world's best photographers capture Ali's flamboyant style and extraordinary charisma. His shocking upset victory over Sonny Liston, his conversion to the Nation of Islam, his outspoken stances on social issues, which made him a controversial figure during the 1960s, this all unfolds before us in these compelling images. Stripped of his title when he refused induction into the armed services in 1967 and unable to fight until the U.S. Supreme Court upheld his draft appeal in 1971, Ali went on to wage furious ring battles that were among boxing's biggest events. This is a remarkable photo-essay. This content is protected
Cheaper than a 10 packet of cigarettes, including postage. The Amazon seller has more......Go treat yourself.
Here is a link to some of the photos in the book. The book is by Magnum photographers. http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1632177,00.html
It does seem actually it's just a handful of books that are expensive across the board but they seem to be the most researched and respected so I guess the cost can be justified it terms of alternate work hours.
i recently bought rocky graziano's biography somebody up there likes me on paperback from ebay for $7.00 and postage included. Probably the best book ive read brilliant
jd,A great biography of the most exciting fighter I ever saw. I bought the paperback when it was first published...Proud to say,I saw much of the Graziano story, while it was unfolding .When I first saw him at Stillman's gym, he was AWOL from the Army,and then I saw him next week in one of his first prelim's at St Nick's Arena. Enjoy the book ...
some terrific books suggested on here. clearly I need to build a library of quality boxing books. I want to avoid multiple books on the same guy though, I'd much prefer the consensus best researched per boxer if possible.
Len Harvey, the Prince of Boxers Jock McAvoy, the Rochdale Thunderbolt. Bert Gilroy, Gilroy was here! you don't need many more to some up the Best of British.
Long time reader here first time poster... I'd like to thank you all for your suggestions, I'm just finishing off Hands of Stone and was wondering what to get next and this thread has given me plenty of food for the thought cheers
