Product Description

Product Description
Muhammad Ali is one of the most remarkable personalities of our time and the greatest sportsman ever to walk the earth. To honor this living legend, this publisher has created a work that is indeed epic in scale and aiming to be as unique as the man himself. A worthy tribute to his life should reflect the scale of his achievements, and "GOAT - Greatest of All Time" sets out to meet that task. Four years in the making, and the most comprehensive study of Ali to date, GOAT has pages of archival and original photographs, graphic artwork, articles and essays - many of them previously unpublished - chronicle six decades of his life in stunning detail. To cap it all, the project takes place with the participation of Ali himself and those members of his inner circle who have been closest to him over the years: from managers and key cornermen to friends, family and children; from spiritual and other advisers to broadcasters, essayists and journalists.

5.0 out of 5 stars Monument to a living legend, 23 Jan 2006
By Justin James Dolley (Tiverton, Devon United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
As a committed Ali fan; (I've visited & stayed at his former training camp in Deerlake PA) I just had to get this book. If you can call it just a book. It's more like an encylopedia/bible on this unique man. Almost 800 pages of the highest quality containing photographs and text even I haven't seen before. The 'book' is like a motion picture of Ali's life and career as the opening pages contain a 'cast list' of the leading players/contributors to the Ali story.
When the delivery man turned up with GOAT, he even took a picture of it he was so impressed! It is now my most prized possession by far and worth every penny. If you think you already know most things about Ali from the various other books that have been published about him, think again. This one leaves no stone unturned & will blow your mind. I consider myself priveleged to own one of only 10,000 copies that were printed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goat?, 21 Sep 2004
By Robert Paul "robertjamespaul" (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Imagine compiling an exhaustive compendium of your favourite celebrity, containing beautiful photos, interviews, just about every piece of writing of any significance on the subject, gathering every last scrap of salient interest into a beautifully structured, elegantly set-out, wonderful library of information contained in one single (very large) book. Imagine doing all that and then calling it G.O.A.T.
And binding it in pink leather.
Bearing in mind your charging people two grand for it, you wouldn't, would you?

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest book of all time?, 15 Feb 2004
By Victoria Craven - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Yes, the asking price is astronomical, but it’s clear from the outset that everyone involved with the production of GOAT have spent a great deal of time (not to mention effort) into making the price justifiable. First thing’s first: the book is so large that it makes reading it very difficult: 34kg in weight and around 20” by 20” in size, put it on a table and it would probably squash it, lay it on your knee and you’d most probably cut off your circulation. That said, the content is hugely impressive and it is quite clear that throughout the four years spent putting this epic achievement into production, no time was wasted. GOAT is bound in pink leather (said to represent the colour of Ali’s first Cadillac) and comes in a luxurious silk-covered box, depicting the 1966 photograph ‘Ali vs. Williams.’ The eight-hundred page Ali fest was bound by the official bindery for the Vatican, and due to the specialised process involved and meticulous quality control, only a few hundred copies could be put together per week.

The selection of artwork contained in the book is truly breathtaking. With around three thousand photographs in all, (many taken by artist Jeff Koons) there is a mixture of unpublished pictures, classic images of Ali’s finest moments, as well as vintage memorabilia pieces and graphic artwork. Despite many of the art pieces being several decades old, advances in technology have meant that classic images have been restored to their original state, and the duotone images have leant a superbly vibrant, highly textured feel to the book.

Regarding written pieces, many of the articles and essays have been previously unpublished, and many of the 600, 000 words of the book are courtesy of hundreds of authors and journalists. Covering around sixty years of an eclectic life, it is little wonder that Ali has such a large number of volunteers wishing to contribute to this glorious book: friends, neighbours, managers and even spiritual advisers have leant their words to this masterpiece. Perhaps best of all however, are the drawings and writings penned by Ali himself – offering a rare insight into the mind of a man so frequently described as a legend.

GOAT is a truly remarkable achievement, and the variety of photographs and written pieces is a pleasure. There is of course the fact that all ten thousand copies of the book have been signed by Ali and contributing artist Jeff Koons, but at the sky-high price of the book, it is for die-hard fans only.
