I got outside my technology comfort zone and managed to create my own website for folks to use to order the Sam Langford book. It's still available via the publishers website, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble, but if anyone would like to order a signed or inscribed copy directly from me they can now do so thru PayPal at [Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

On another, but related subject here's a link I posted in a blog concerning some photograph discrepancies in the book:

That's what I was getting at, as Sam died a long while back.

This is an excellent book. Thorough and scholarly, it has a fine eye for detail and anecdote. The author's voice is muted, but he cannot conceal his obvious warmth for Langford. The story takes you back 100 years in time as though it were yesterday. Particularly poignant are the last two chapters, 'Retirement' and 'Forgotten Man'. I highly recommend this book.
