GOAT - Reviews
"You wouldn`t call it just a book any more than you would call Muhammad Ali just a boxer. A larger-than-life subject requires a larger-than-life biography. And so, introducing, in this corner, weighing 75 pounds, filling 800 pages and costing $3,000, the heavyweight of tomes, GOAT."Miami Herald, MiamiUnited States |

"To call such an extravagant objet d`art a book is like calling the Taj Mahal a shack."Newsday, New YorkUnited States |

"Picture a 75-pound box of candy wrapped in white and pink silk. That`s how the past 60 years of Muhammad Ali`s life have been layered into this book, some kind of a cross between a Valentine and an atlas. That Mr. Ali is worthy seems beyond question nowadays. His Olympic gold, his world-champion titles, his courage of conviction and his unstoppably brash charm all pile up to make him bigger than life. He fought 46 times, including several comebacks, on his way to being one of the most famous people in the world and one of the most photographed ever. Each memento in the heartfelt scrapbook-every fight poster, front-row ticket stub and magazine cover-was originally saved for its outlandish, over-the-top appeal, just like the man himself. Three thousand photographs are gorgeously printed here across 792 gilt-edged pages, the biggest measuring 80 inches by 20 inches. Twin, double-page foldouts will take over any coffee table and most of the sofa, too."The Washington Times, WashingtonUnited States |

"Greatest of All Time heißt das ultimative Werk des Taschen Verlags über das Leben des Champ. Das in fünfjähriger Arbeit entstandene Projekt wird der Bedeutung des wohl größten Sportlers aller Zeiten gerecht"Schwäbische Zeitung, LeutkirchGermany |

"In the sporting world, the term ‘goat` usually is applied to someone who has cost his team a victory with an ill-fated play or decision. It`s unlikely the term ever applied to Muhammad Ali, until publisher Benedikt Taschen—with the help of Ali―compiled a larger-than-life literary tribute to the boxing legend. The title is an acronym of a phrase Ali used—and other echoed—to describe the champ: Greatest of All Time. It`s a book of enormous size and breadth, chronicling the life of an enormous figure who transcends the world of sports."Chicago Sun-Times, ChicagoUnited States |

"das Meisterwerk des Taschen-Verlags war nicht nur Star des Taschen-Messestandes, sondern der Buchmesse überhaupt. Das Buch geht an die Grenzen der industriellen Produktion. Taschens 10 Mio-Euro Projekt stellt alles bisher da gewesene im Buchmarkt und auch die zigtausend Neuerscheinungen der Buchmesse selbst in den Schatten."Print & Prduktion, HeidelbergGermany |

"Una personalidad tan apabullante se merecía un libro similar. GOAT. A tribute to Muhammed Alí intenta en sus 800 páginas y 3.000 imágenes captar la personalidad del campeón. GOAT, siglas de Greatest of all Time (el más grande de todos los tiempos), recoge artículos de 20 escritores y el trabajo de los mejores fotógrafos que siguieron su carrera. ‘No esperan que los boxeadores tengan cerebro`, escribe Alí. ‘Son sólo brutos que sirven para entretener a blancos ricos`. La tirada del libro, editado por TASCHEN, será de sólo 10.000 ejemplares. El proyecto ha costado 10 millones de euros y cada ejemplar saldrá a la venta por 3.000 €, aunque las primeras mil copias, acompañadas de una escultura, tendrán un precio de 7.500€. El homenaje esperado para un peso pesado del siglo XX."El Mundo, MadridSpain |
