Buddy Baer-(2003 published autobiography)

[Brutu]

Has anyone here read this book?
Buddy Baer wrote the manuscript for his autobigraphy in 1984 just a few of years before he died in 1986.
It was finally published by an obscure publisher in 2003, but looks interesting not only on Buddy Baer's boxing and film career but also on what information it may also shed on his brother
Max Baer's career and the Joe Louis's era.
300 pages softbound.

Did Buddy Baer's finally published autobiography ever get reviewed in any of the boxing magazines?
How did it manage to get finally published and who had the manuscript all that time?
Maybe it mentions how in the preface of the book.
It just makes you wonder if any other famous boxers,champions or not champions had written a manuscript about their lives
and it may just be sitting around somewhere or perhaps even lost or destroyed before ever even seen by anyone other then the boxer himself .

..buddy and max got into a fistfight in the abbot and costello movie, "africa screams." i forget which one says to the other "I'll hit you harder than louis ever did." probably buddy to max, as more people remembered of his fighting louis. buddy also played a detective in separate episodes in the angela lansbury "jessica fletcher series.

buddy had a big part in "quo vadis" as a christian who wrestles a bull, if i remember the right beast, to save the life of deborah kerr who is tied to a post. buddy breaks the animal's neck.


re: boxer's autobios, willie pep "wrote" one but i've never seen it reviewed or for sale anywhere.
