"Expensive. Heavy to carry. English text only. GOAT has some hardship for us if you consider it as a book. But believe us, when you see GOAT, even if you are not a great Ali fan, you will feel something breathtaking and it will move you to tears. You know, that's an art."Sports Yeah, TokyoUnited States |

"Größtes Taschen-Buch der Welt wiegt 34 Kilo - Er feierte sich selbst als Größten aller Zeiten, die Hommage an Box-Legende Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. alias Muhammad Ali ist es allemal. GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) - der spektakuläre Bild-Text-Band macht dem berühmtesten schlagenden Schwergewicht der Welt alle Ehre: 34 Kilo, Format 50 x 50 cm, 792 Seiten, über 3000 Fotos, dutzende Stories, Biografien, Exklusivinterviews und Statistiken ... Fast fünf Jahre Arbeit, Projektkosten 10 Millionen Euro. Das Buch der Superlative aus dem Kölner TASCHEN Verlag kommt jetzt druckfrisch in die Läden, die Auslieferung an Privatkunden läuft. Aus 330 Tonnen Kunstdruckpapier und 13 Tonnen Farbe haben die Macher ein Jahrhundert-Werk gezaubert, das der Verlag jetzt in einer einmaligen Weltauflage von 10 000 nummerierten Exemplaren an den Mann bringt ... Das formstarke 'Papiergewicht' haut einen um."dpa, HamburgGermany |

"This book is amazing in size, scope, depth, and beauty. It is almost as pretty as Ali himself--and nearly as heavy."Amazon.com, SeattleUnited States |

"GOAT is rife with photos of "The Greatest" with such 20th-century icons, as well as passages authored by the likes of Norman Mailer, Jim Murray and Hunter S. Thompson. Nevertheless, it is the books eye-popping numerical stats that have generated most of the pre-release buzz: 1 printing. 10,000 individually-numbered copies. 800 pages. $3,000 price tag (a limited edition can be had for $7,500). How fitting that Ali, whose photo should accompany and definition of the phrase "larger than life," should be immortalized in such a volume. Equally appropriate is that Bingham contributed 400 pictures--more than any other photographer to the project."The Wave, Los AngelesUnited States |

"GOAT signifie 'Greatest of All Time', le plus grand de tous les temps. Et il faut bien dire que le nouveau 'livre-somme' des éditions TASCHEN mérite bien son titre. En effet, cet hommage au boxeur Muhammad Ali est immédiatement entré dans la légende du monde de l`édition, au même titre que son 'sujet' dans celle du sport. (...) d`une qualité de fabrication incroyable, GOAT est aussi un monument... par son prix. Ce magnifique cadeau de Noël est en effet réservé aux plus fortunés. (...) Mais tel est le prix de la légende..."Midi Libre, MontpellierFrance |

"TASCHEN, the German publishing house, has long been known as one of the more adventurous publishers in the world. Once again, TASCHEN makes waves of a different sort, with its tribute to Muhammad Ali - GOAT... Centuries from now, it may rank alongside Gutenberg titles and other first editions as a bibliophile's 'wet dream'."ThePhilstar.com, ManillaPhilippines |

"Until today, SUMO, a 66 pound tribute to fashion and celebrity photographer Helmut Newton, was touted as the largest book ever published. Now from the same publisher comes a 75-pound tribute to the former heavyweight champ Muhammad Ali. GOAT, as in Greatest of All Time, Ali's self-bestowed title, is available in two limited editions that come in silk covered boxes."USA Today, New YorkUnited States |
