    How about: Harry Greb: He was so good he couldn't be filmed!

    I hope it will be part of a future anthology of stories in book form rather than Kindle. I am too old school for Kindle. :(

    Yep but the user needs to be smart to use it.

    In this case, a charcoal gray grey jacket cover with a black and white photoshopped windmill and the smoke-filled air looming over the city of Pittsburgh might have worked.

    Don’t Greb books have their moments of disagreeing with each other?

    Just go to the app store and download "kindle".

    You can now read any ebook.

    I very much appreciate your writing, and will find time to get to both.

    Thanks for the time and effort you put into telling untold tales.

    Smokestack's chapter 4, which is all about Dempsey vs. Greb, is in this week's issue of BOXING NEWS --on the stands today in the UK.

    SMOKESTACK is now in PAPERBACK.

    I'm glad it is, as it looks really good. I should have did this in January but live and learn. I don't know how many of you have read Pete Hamill's "Why Sinatra Matters" but I made this one the same size as it is of comparable page length -though mine is cheaper.

    Anyway, get it, even if you've already downloaded it. It's worth it. (McGrain should definitely get it as he gets a salute in the notes.)
