The Tao of Davis Miller

I have loads of stuff for sale. No Bruce Lee related stuff, but lots of Muhammad Ali, including autographed magazines, fight tickets, programs, etcetera. Some of it's even famous. Other boxing related autographed stuff, too: Foreman, Frazier, Holyfield, Sugar Ray Leonard, more folks.

The big thing is a hardcover book that Ali signed for me on the first day that we met, back in 1988. (In my books, I changed the date to 1989.) It's a beautiful book, crammed full of mostly color plates, the best photos ever of Ali, written by a good writer named Wilfrid Sheed. The book itself has been out of print for twenty-five years. Ali sat in his mom's den and signed and signed and signed for close to an hour, autographing nearly every photo in the book, telling me, "I never done this before. Usually I sign one or two." He autographed photos with Malcolm X, Howard Cosell, Elijah Muhammad, Martin Luther King, his opponents, wives, kids, parents. He wrote of his first wife, Sonji Roi, "She gave me Hell." When he was through, he handed me the book, saying, "I'm givin' you somethin' very valuable."

It's a museum piece all by itself and it's been made famous by my story, "My Dinner with Ali," which was judged one of the best twenty pieces of sports writing of the twentieth century, and by THE TAO OF MUHAMMAD ALI and THE ZEN OF MUHAMMAD ALI AND OTHER OBSESSIONS.

Every item that I'm selling is famous and absolutely unique. Some items have approx prices that I am looking for others do not, but please email me directly with any questions or anything at all at herenowboy@juno.com.

Most of these things aren't expensive. The reason: I want/need to move them. I simply want to be rid of them. The exception is the Wilfrid Sheed book, which is absolutely unique, historical, famous, and a museum piece. I expect/hope to auction it. And will not consider a bid of much less than $20,000.

Each of thse items has a unique story.which add to the monetary value of the pieces. And I'll supply a statement of authenticity.

I'm also going to sell video footage of the last time Ali ever publicly boxed (never before seen) and of him horsing around with my kids and me. Hours of this stuff.

I want/feel the need to be free. Selling this stuff is a major part of that project.
