Liebling, A. J.: The Sweet Science. , LONDON: Victor Gollancz Limited, 1956.

First UK Edition. Liebling was one of the most distinguished contributors to The New Yorker. 'A. J. Liebling is to boxing what Surtees is to hunting, and what Edmund Blunden and Neville Cardus are to cricket. His enthusiasm, supported by exceptional knowledge of his subject and put over with style and wit, is irresistible'. There are eighteen chapters in The Sweet Science, and each one is centred on one particular fight - in most cases a prize contest. But thisbook is much more than a collection of accounts of celebrated boxing-matches: it is an 'inside picture' of the whole boxing community. This is a classic of boxing literature. In very good condition, with price-clipped d/w. Scarce. (Book ref. 611 )  £ 80.00
