Hardcover. Zustand: good, fair. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. First Printing. 22 cm. [6], 249, [1] pages. Illustrations. Index. DJ in plastic sleeve, DJ worn, soiled, torn, and chipped, ink notes on p. 242 and on rear endpaper. The inside story of the sport of boxing, an era, and a man who rode them to the top. William Harrison "Jack" Dempsey (June 24, 1895 - May 31, 1983), nicknamed Kid Blackie, and The Manassa Mauler, was an American professional boxer who competed from 1914 to 1927, and reigned as the world heavyweight champion from 1919 to 1926. A cultural icon of the 1920s, Dempsey's aggressive fighting style and exceptional punching power made him one of the most popular boxers in history. Many of his fights set financial and attendance records, including the first million-dollar gate. He pioneered the live broadcast of sporting events in general, and boxing matches in particular. Dempsey is ranked tenth on The Ring magazine's list of all-time heavyweights and seventh among its Top 100 Greatest Punchers, while in 1950 the Associated Press voted him as the greatest fighter of the past 50 years. In September 1926, Dempsey fought former U.S. Marine Gene Tunney in Philadelphia, a fighter who had only lost once in his career. Tunney was considered the underdog against Dempsey. The match ended in an upset, with Dempsey losing his title on points in 10 rounds. When Dempsey returned to his dressing room, he explained his loss to his wife by saying, "Honey, I forgot to duck." Fifty-five years later president Ronald Reagan borrowed this quote when his wife Nancy visited him in the emergency room after the attempt on his life. Dempsey finally achieved widespread popularity when he lost his championship title. On September 23, 1926, he was defeated by challenger Gene Tunney before a record crowd of 120,000 fans in Philadelphia. When the bruised and battered Dempsey returned to his hotel that night, his wife, shocked at his gruesome appearance, asked him what happened. "Honey," Dempsey famously answered. "I forgot to duck." The hilarious and self-effacing anecdote made Dempsey something of a folk legend for the rest of his life. A year later, in 1927, Dempsey challenged Tunney to a rematch in a fight that would become one of the most controversial in boxing history. Dempsey knocked Tunney down in the seventh round but forgot a new rule requiring him to return to a neutral corner while the referee counted, extending the pause in the fight. Dempsey's slipup afforded Tunney at least five precious extra seconds to recover and return to his feet, and Tunney eventually won the fight. Although Dempsey fans argue that he would have won if not for the "long count," Tunney maintained that he was in control throughout the fight. After his second loss to Tunney, Dempsey retired from boxing but remained a prominent cultural figure. He opened Jack Dempsey's Restaurant in New York City, where he was famous for his hospitality and willingness to chat with any customer who walked through his doors. He also tried his hand at acting. He and his wife, actress Estelle Taylor, co-starred in a Broadway play called The Big Fight, and Dempsey appeared in a handful of films, including The Prizefighter and the Lady (1933) and Sweet Surrender (1935). During World War II, Dempsey put all questions surrounding his war record to rest by serving as a lieutenant commander in the Coast Guard.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good-. 1st Edition. See photos for condition details. Hardcover with dust jacket. Original price of $3.95 is still present on the front flap. DJ shows quite a bit of edge wear and chipping, chipping to the spine edges being the worst. The underside of the dust jacket was neatly reinforced with masking tape along the top and bottom edges, over the decades the glue from the tape has darkened the exterior side of the jacket. The tape is dry and brittle and appears to be very easy to remove if desired. Gray cloth boards underneath are clean with the only issue being some very light edge fade and corner bumps. Internal binding is good and text pages are tight. No hinge issues present. The biggest flaw with the interior of the book is the bottom edge of a few pages in the front has an indentation from a paperclip, the title page and opposite page also has a rust mark from this. Inscribed and signed by Jack Dempsey on the second end page which reads: "To my friend Edward Leaney (possibly Leavey) my Best Always Pal - Jack Dempsey 9/6/60". No other handwriting found in book, no bookplates, no library markings, no remainder marks. Stated first printing on the copyright page. Signed by Author(s).…
