Condition: Very Good
Description: Book is in VERY GOOD condition; dust jacket GOOD condition with chipping. Original price still intact on dust jacket. Early printings of this classic book are becoming increasingly scarce and collectible. Previous owner name, address on front pastedown. A group of men, with the help of a Press agent and a trainer, manipulate a poor, huge, talent less fighter rescued from numbing poverty towards the world heavyweight boxing title. The agent and the trainer are the only two men with any real conscience to speak of. The characters, and insight into the world of boxing immediately after world war II, is fascinating. Schulberg's dialogue crackles with realism and excitement. Schulberg is one of the best boxing writers and this book is one of his best. Made into an acclaimed movie starring: Humphrey Bogart, Rod Steiger, Jan Sterling, Mike Lane, and Max Baer.

CATEGORY: Mystery BINDING/COVER: Hardback with dust jacket COLOR: Green BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION: The author of What Makes Sammy Run? faces the severest challenge a writer can meet: to make his second novel surpass his first sensational success. Budd Schulberg answers that challenge with The Harder They Fall. The book is an indictment of the manipulation of professional boxers.

Reprint Edition assumed with the lettering 'A.B.' present on the copyright and a boxed '1' at the bottom of the page (no edition stated). RANDOM HOUSE, NY 1947.

Description: Budd Schulberg's celebrated novel of the prize ring has lost none of its power since its first publication almost fifty years ago. Crowded with unforgettable characters, it is a relentless expose of the fight racket. A modern Samson in the form of a simple Argentine peasant is ballyhooed by an unscrupulous fight promoter and his press agent - and then betrayed and destroyed by connivers. Mr. Schulberg creates a wonderfully authentic atmosphere for this book that many critics hailed as even better than What Makes Sammy Run? The wrongs of the boxing business that the book illuminates are still with us. Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. 343 pages. First Printing stated. Jacket chipped to extremities, now in brodart protective sleeve. Offsetting to endpaper gutters, else clean and unmarked in sound binding. Photos available by request.

Schulberg, Budd. The Harder They Fall.. Random House, New York, 1947.
Price: US$400.00 + shipping
Description: First edition of Schulberg's second book, basis for the 1956 film directed byÂMark Robson, featuringÂHumphrey Bogart's final film role. Octavo, original cloth. Signed by Budd Schulberg on the front free endpaper. Near fine in a good dust jacket. Jacket design by Louis Glanzman. Crowded with unforgettable characters, it is a relentless expose of the fight racket. A modern Samson in the form of a simple Argentine peasant is ballyhooed by an unscrupulous fight promoter and his press agent and then betrayed and destroyed by connivers. Schulberg creates a wonderfully authentic atmosphere for this book that many critics hailed as even better than What Makes Sammy Run? "The book will stand not only as the novel about boxing but also as a book that indirectly tells more about civilization than do most books about civilization itself" (Arthur Miller). It was the basis for the 1956 film directed by Mark Robson, written by Philip Yordan, starring Humphrey Bogart, Rod Steiger and Jan Sterling.

Condition: Fine
Description: First edition. A small, faint stain on the top edge, still fine in a very near fine dustwrapper with a bit of rubbing and a couple of small and unnecessary internal repairs. Signed by the author. A scathing indictment of the manipulation of professional boxers, no less relevant today than it was fifty years ago. Basis for the powerful Mark Robson film in which Humphrey Bogart, in his final role, plays a cynical press agent who comes to realize the extent to which prizefighters are pawns of their managers and racketeers. A very nice, signed copy.
