Cambridge Massachusetts: Rounder Books, 2005. Hardcover. Near Fine+/Fine. Bauman, Stanley. Number line in the work reads as follows: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. This book is a revised and significantly expanded version of Everett M. Skehan's 1977 book Rocky Marciano: Biography of a First Son. An oversized and heavy work of 292 pages, with bright red covers and sharp gilt lettering on the spine. Interior of book is clean and binding is tight. Just a slight touch of corner wear on some corners of the cover and a slight touch of wear at the base of the spine. Many would grade the book fine. Dust jacket is protected in an archival quality Brodart cover. Dj is not price-clipped. Drawing on innumerable hours of interviews, research, and intensive study of each of Marciano's classic bouts, this is the definitive document of a boxing legend: Rocky Marciano, the fighter who refused to lose.
