There is also an interesting hard cover album with 45 original photographs of obscure fighters of the early 20th century including some French fighters (some of which are signed). In soft cover in fair condition, there is: The Life & Battles of Jack Johnson by Fox, and in excellent condition there is Jack McAuliffe by Fleischer. There are a few non-boxing titles, the most significant of which are two volumes of the German Olympic Book for 1936. The magazine collection features loose copies of Boxiana Review, Boxing & Wrestling, KO, Boxing Illustrated, and Sports Illustrated (many of which have covers of Mike Tyson). This lot also includes a nice tribute to a Young Corbett III.
