A terrific resource to anyone who collects boxing books are the two
books written by R.A. Hartley: 'History & Bibliography of Boxing
Books' (1989) and 'More Boxing Books' (1995). The author provides a
listing of a very large number of boxing books that have been written,
along with brief descriptions of each one. If you are passionate
about boxing books, these two reference books are invaluable.
If you don't find a title you are looking for in my 'Boxing
Books for Sale' section, please feel free to e-mail me a list of your
wants and I will be happy to keep on file and contact you if I come
across any of the desired titles. I would also be happy to answer any
e-mail correspondence that you send regarding my own experiences in
terms of prices for any boxing books that you might be pursuing.
Lastly, as a collector of boxing books I would always be interested to
hear from anyone regarding boxing titles, or boxing book collections
that you might have available for sale or trade, especially pre-1935
titles.
I am currently looking for the following titles:
* Lessons in Boxing by George Dixon 1893
* A History of the Coffroth Family by James Coffroth 1926
* Boxing in Nine Lessons by Battling Levinsky.
I am also interested in anything related to Sam Langford.
