Book Reviews of Goat: A Tribute to Muhammad Ali (Greatest of All Time)
Book Review: A TOTAL 5 Stars
All I can say is---WOW!!! This book is amazing in size, scope, depth, and beauty. It is almost as pretty as Ali himself--an nearly as heavy! But the heavyweight heft of this volume is appropriate to the subject. The book itself is, well, the Sistine Chapel of books. It is a gorgeous work of art, incredibly well made, the ultimate coffee table book--only make sure your coffee table is pretty solid. The price of this tome, and limited pressing, will make it accessible to only a few, and that is a shame, because anyone who grew up in the 60's and admired Ali for his talent, showmanship, and courage should have a shot at this behemoth tribute to the man. The copy I saw was a galley print demo, and only about 1/3rd of the entire book--and it was still fantastic. There are incredible photos, with great quality, and lots of fascinating text as well. I loved the chapter where the Beatles came to visit his Miami gym just a few days after the first Ed Sullivan show. The Beatles and Ali, both on the verge of changing the world. In short--I'd spend the 3 grand if I had it. Several years back, I was at a Laker game, including the likes of which were Magic Johnson & Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and Ali was at the game with several people. I kept staring across the Forum at Ali, so still and silent due to disease, yet he remained full of dignity and bearing. In the mid-4th quarter, Ali and his entourage got up to leave, and--without any PA announcement--the crowd spontaneously began to cheer until the racket shut the game down and the whole building was on its feet. I got chills that I still remember. Ali is the most important sports figure of the latter-20th Century, because his achievement transcended the game he played and pervaded the entire culture. This Gargantuan book is worthy of its subject. I feel privileged to have gotten to view a copy before I left this earth.Photo Essays Books
