This is a beautiful book that makes a wonderful gift for any sports enthusiast.

That is the only reason that I was slightly disappointed when I received the box containing my purchase. I was very much in awe of the picture of Ali, and I was looking forward to a book full of images that were also interesting, full of emotion and reflective of the athlete. The pictures inside are fantastic, just not as moving as that on the cover.

I am a proud owner of Glory and show it to my guests when they come over. Recently I saw Glory on a shelf in a store and was stopped in my tracks by the cover photo of Ali. It glowed like a beacon from across the room. The photos by Corman are perfect in their simplicity and superb in their production. Glory is a gem.

My father is a huge sports enthusiast. His past includes coaching a few star baseball athletes. I am always at a loss for gifts for him as he is a collector of many things and most gifts don't hold a candle to what he already posseses. This book is a gift that gives him great pleasure. The photos, and the stories behind of them, are fascinating.
