Beschreibung:

Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Inhaltsangabe:

James J. Corbett holds a very special place in boxing history. A pioneer of scientific ringcraft, he was largely responsible for transforming the sport from a brutal test of raw strength and courage into an art form. The first world heavyweight champion under Marquis of Queensberry Rules, when gloves replaced bare fists, he toppled the mighty John L. Sullivan in 1892 in one of the ring's great upsets.
His good looks, polished manners and immaculate dress sense earned Corbett the nickname 'Gentleman Jim'. He didn't always live up to it. Arrogant, moody and bigoted, he made enemies as easily as he charmed others.
In this frank biography, the only on 'Gentleman Jim' in over half a century, Patrick Myler looks at the man behind the legend. It is a fresh and revealing insight into the life and times of one of the most talked-about sporting and social figures of his day.
