Add to basketFirst printing. "Boxing and Boxiana - a Ringside View." Uncommon first edition of these essays which originally appeared in the New Yorker on the high points (and some of the low points) of boxing in that era. "Named the best sports book of all time by Sports Illustrated in 2002, The Sweet Science offers a lively and idiosyncratic portrait of boxing in the early 1950s that encompasses boastful managers, veteran trainers, wily cornermen, and the fighters themselves: Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Archie Moore, 'a virtuoso of anachronistic perfection.' No one has captured the fierce artistry of the ring like Liebling. (Pete Hamill) . 306 pp. Very good in black boards in a good only dust jacket (creasing at edges, rubbing at folds, original price of 3.95 on flap).
