Just Enough Liebling (without dust jacket): classic work by the legendary New Yorker writer

The Story

'Born a hundred years ago, Abbott Joseph 'Joe' Liebling was one of the greatest of all New Yorker writers, a colorful figure who helped set the magazine's urbane tone and style. Today he is best known as a celebrant of the 'sweet science' of boxing, and as a 'feeder' who ravishes the reader with his descriptions of food and wine.' 'Liebling is a most companionable figure, and to read the pieces in this book is to be swept along on an adventure in a world of confidence men, rogues, press barons, and political cronies, with an inimitable writer as one's guide.'--BOOK JACKET.
