The book, What Makes Sammy Run? has such wit - about screenwriters in 1930s Hollywood, which created a controversy back in 1941 when it was published. Every producer, actor, writer was looking over their shoulder wondering if he or she was in the book, albeit fictionalized with another name and so forth. Budd Schulberg, the author, is still alive, at 94.

Budd Schulberg at ninety is still punching. In this collection of his boxing writing he brings us back to some of the most exciting moments in his long ring history. He concludes with a lengthy portrait of the famed boxing promoter Lew Jacobs. Schulberg is a real aficionado of the sport who knows it from inside. And those who love the sport will greatly enjoy the collection. Most touching in it is his concern for what happens to fighters after they leave the ring.

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.47
This wonderful cookbook is part history book ( of Zarela Martinez' family and experiences in Mexico) as well as being a great book full of wonderful recipes.

7.On the Waterfront: The Final Shooting Script by: Budd Schulberg 1988-10
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.81
Of course, I saw the movie first; in fact, before VCR's and DVD's, we showed the 16 Mil. film to our regular English classes as a reward, usually at the end of the year. One year,however, I had a particularly unmotivated special ed. English class. I remembered the film, and found the book at a college bookstore. I figured it was worth a try, so I persuaded the Chairman of my department to order 15 copies out of the budget (which was usually close to empty, but somehow she ok'd the funds). At first, nobody would read ("who wants to read an old movie script anyway?"), so I began reading all the parts, and the next day I had no trouble getting them to take the parts; in fact, to avoid a slugfest, the part of Terry alternated every 10 minutes. What was it about a (at that time) 40 year old script ... Read More

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $15.88
Jose Torres first offering takes us to the point in Ali's career after his reinstatement which include tuneup fights with Quarry, Bonavena and finally to the first fight with Frazier. Interspersed with these narratives is the life of Ali from his Golden Glove Days to the revocation of his license for refusing the draft. What makes this book unique from all the other Ali biographies out there is that the writer was quite of a boxer himself, a former light heavyweight champion in fact. From this vantage point, he gives us a glimpse of the boxer's psyche - particularly interesting is his anatomy of the knockout punch. Whereas other biographies speak about Ali in reverential tones, Torres puts Ali to task for his bad game plan in the first Frazier fight and his penchant for playing with ... Read More
