McCaffery, Dan. James Lorimer & Co. 2000. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine.

The amazing story of Canada's only Heavyweight Champion of the World.  Burns was a remarkable figure, just 5' 7", who was the first prominent fighter to break the colour barrier by agreeing to fight Jack Johnson - losing both the fight, his title and his career.  Before that, Burns had defended his title twice in one night; won a fight by the fastest knockout ever by a heavyweight champion and scored eight
                                 consecutive knockouts in title defenses.  Like Burns, the book is a
                                 knockout and in pristine condition.
