The NEWMARKET series is the best in published screenplays because they maintain the original format of the pages from the production script.

The script itself is very readable, plus it represents a primer on how to write both period detail and boxing scenes. The additional historic and filmmaking information only adds to the experience of the film -- and of reading the script.
