OK, i am sure that many of you know the book by Lud S., well i know many of you also know that he published a book with damon runyon called releif to royalty, it was a book abotu james j braddock. i have been searching everywhere but i simply cannot find it!.. ive read all 3 books out there on braddock i cant really find anymore, im hoping to get "in their corners" as i understand braddock is in that. but i would greatly appreciate it if anyone would know where i could get a copy!!! PLEASEEE

..rory....hey...except for sheer collection purposes, you don't need the runyan book.....considering that you have the three you mention. ...the newest hardcover one (shaap? forget the name) is more than enough information, and all are better written than the runyon one, which is in the old hardboiled-with-a-gooey-sentimental style that runyon and his contemporaries (such as mark hellinger) affected at the time.
