1.		A Soldier's Story (Modern Library War) from Modern Library Price: $11.53 Customer Review: I didn't find out until recently that Francis Ford Coppola leaned heavily on this volume when writing the screenplay for the film "Patton". Omar Bradley, the 'G.I. General', turns out to have been an unexpectedly talented writer, in penning this extraordinary account of WWII, from the North African... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.	[no image]	The Sweet Science from Viking Adult Customer Review: Good trip down memory lane. Boxing was the king of sport. Great perspectives on the careet of Joe Louis and the rise of Rocky M.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		Between Meals: An Appetite for Paris (Modern Library) from Modern Library Price: $115.35 Customer Review: Did anyone ever love Paris, or at least eating in Paris, like Liebling. I share his love for the city and for the cuisine. Perhaps this colors my view but I really enjoyed this book.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		A.J. Liebling: The Sweet Science and Other Writings: The Earl of Louisiana / The Jollity Building / Between Meals / The Press (Library of America No. 191) from Library of America Price: $21.01 Customer Review: A.J. Liebling was a fine writer and "The Sweet Science" rightfully ranks as one of the greatest books on sport that anyone has ever produced. But, while "The Sweet Science" is a classic, I am not sure if this entire work ranks up to the admittedly high standards of the Library of America. Who is... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		A.J. Liebling: World War II Writings (Library of America) from Library of America Price: $17.95 Customer Review: It's called 'Between Meals' and it's going to be included in the follow-up volume by Library of America due March 19, 2009. But you've got to get this volume too, as a taste of what's to come. Really, you're going to want to have everything Mr. Liebling wrote after you've read his reporting on D... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		Just Enough Liebling from North Point Press, New York Price: $5.50 Customer Review: The only reason I pick this nice volume over the LOA duo is for those who still do not know his work and do not want to plunk down more than the nice low price for this "tasting flight". Once you satisfyingly pat your mouth with the back cover, you will be reaching for the LOA volumes pretty quick,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.	[no image]	The Earl of Louisiana from Louisiana State Univ Pr Customer Review: A popular governor consigned to an insane asylum for openly fighting race hatred and the orthodoxy of the day. The old Soviet Union? The old South Africa? Or the Old South, circa 1956 in Louisiana, U.S.A.? Joe Liebling grabs a great and brave moment in American race politics and chronicles the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		A Neutral Corner: Boxing Essays from North Point Press Price: $11.66 Customer Review: It's generally accepted that Liebling's The Sweet Science is the finest piece of Boxing literature ever concieved. The writing was lyrical in a way rarely seen in sports writing (or any other kind of writing for that matter), the world he described captivating. Just when we thought that that was all... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.	[no image]	The Telephone Booth Indian from Doubleday, Doran and Co Customer Review: This collection of stories, written mostly in the late 30's for "The New Yorker," describes a motley group of a certain type, what Liebling calls (with his usual dry, inventive humor) "a capitalist...in a state of pre-primary acquisition." Call them what you will-- lowlifes, riff-raff, or con... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		The Press from Pantheon Customer Review: The first thing you need to understand about A.J.Liebling is this: If youre in the mood for a simple, straight-up story with a beginning, middle, and end you will not appreciate A.J.Liebling. If youre wanting, say, to know what time it is, Liebling will tell you how to make a watch in every detail.... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
