Book Reviews of Goat: A Tribute to Muhammad Ali (Greatest of All Time)

Book Review: The greatest book of all time?
Summary: 5 Stars

The selection of artwork contained in the book is truly breathtaking. With around three thousand photographs in all, (many taken by artist Jeff Koons) there is a mixture of unpublished pictures, classic images of Ali's finest moments, as well as vintage memorabilia pieces and graphic artwork. Despite many of the art pieces being several decades old, advances in technology have meant that classic images have been restored to their original state, and the duotone images have leant a superbly vibrant, highly textured feel to the book.

Regarding written pieces, many of the articles and essays have been previously unpublished, and many of the 600, 000 words of the book are courtesy of hundreds of authors and journalists. Covering around sixty years of an eclectic life, it is little wonder that Ali has such a large number of volunteers wishing to contribute to this glorious book: friends, neighbours, managers and even spiritual advisers have leant their words to this masterpiece. Perhaps best of all however, are the drawings and writings penned by Ali himself - offering a rare insight into the mind of a man so frequently described as a legend.

GOAT is a truly remarkable achievement, and the variety of photographs and written pieces is a pleasure. There is of course the fact that all ten thousand copies of the book have been signed by Ali and contributing artist Jeff Koons, but at the sky-high price of the book, it is for die-hard fans only.
