Great Gift

This is a beautiful book that makes a wonderful gift for any sports enthusiast. The book is large with very high quality photos.It is unique and offers the reader a variety of sports and athletes to marvel at while he/she flips through the pages.Be forewarned--the picture on the cover is by far the best in the book. That is the only reason that I was slightly disappointed when I received the box containing my purchase. I was very much in awe of the picture of Ali, and I was looking forward to a book full of images that were also interesting, full of emotion and reflective of the athlete. The pictures inside are fantastic, just not as moving as that on the cover.

It Gets Better

I am a proud owner of Glory and show it to my guests when they come over. Recently I saw Glory on a shelf in a store and was stopped in my tracks by the cover photo of Ali. It glowed like a beacon from across the room. The photos by Corman are perfect in their simplicity and superb in their production. Glory is a gem.

magnificent

My father is a huge sports enthusiast. His past includes coaching a few star baseball athletes. I am always at a loss for gifts for him as he is a collector of many things and most gifts don't hold a candle to what he already posseses. This book is a gift that gives him great pleasure. The photos, and the stories behind of them, are fascinating.
