AN AWESOME VIDEO …
AN AWESOME VIDEO for an awesome book. I own and have read BLOWS TO THE HEAD and I can say it is an simple read and facinating tale. Binnie describes the veiled Jewish heritage through boxing and her own babtism into the squared group. Anyone remotely interested in boxing as a sport or fitness activity, or the Jewish link to the sport, will be enlightened and entertained by it. After I read it, I just had to go and hit the alacrity bag!
Just a splendid video …
Just a splendid video Binnie–exceedingly well done. Scott’s choice of music, the photography, the visuals–all just terrific. This book will lead to splendid things (greater things!) and it’s next on my reading list. Every novelist should look at your example when it comes to tasteful and fascinating self promotion–it’s an inspiration to bone idle bums like me
Fantastic video, …
Fantastic video, Binnie! Splendid images, splendid music!
