About This Item
New York: Abelard-Schuman, 1970. First Edition (first printing). . Hardcover. Very Good/Good. leRoy Neiman. A Very Good copy, in a rubbed and lightly edge-worn Good dust jacket. Signed by author (and former light heavyweight champion boxer) Torres, and by Norman Mailer, Budd Schulberg, artist leRoy Nieman, and by Cus D'Amato, who trained Torres (as well as Floyd Patterson, Mike Tyson and others). Torres and Schulberg sign "To Peter", and "For Peter, Looking forward to your book". Sadly, we do not have provenance. However, the only such gathering we have found occurred when Torres was introduced as New York State Athletic Commissioner in 1984. All these gentlemen were present, as was writer Pete Hamill. We can only speculate. No matter the Peter, a remarkable copy of a boxing classic.
