Did I say readers love it? That's an understatement! Here’s some feedback from readers who have rec’d their copy of the book. Just see what they have to say:
“I was down the Jersey Shore this weekend laughing at all the wanna-be's with their showy, useless beach muscles and when I got home on Sunday I was elated to find a large envelope lying on my front steps. Knowing exactly what was inside the envelope I approached it with laser like focus and proceeded to clean the little monster to the shoulder and carry it inside. The book looks GREAT as do the great photos that came along with it. You weren't kidding, this thing is huge! I'm sure it reads as good as it looks! Keep up the great work!” -- Mike Bandini aka Ban-Dino!!!
“That was fast! I received the Dino files Friday and Black Iron today. With regard to Black iron -- I feel bad for our mail carriers. I've been following the emails but was still pleasantly surprised by the size of this book. I haven't had a chance to start it yet but I thought the special bonus photo(s) was quite impressive. I definitely have something to look forward to in the coming week. I can hardly wait to learn more about this giant of the weightlifting world.” -- Bill Marchese
“Brooks, I received THE BOOK on John Davis yesterday (Saturday), flipped through it and looked at all the pictures/captions. Thanks for signing, and for the two pictures of John to add to my weightroom wall collection. Looks like several great weeks of reading in this one!” -- Brian DeLong,
“I got my copy of BLACK IRON yesterday. I'm already 60 pages in and enjoying every bit of it! You have done it again.” -- Steve Lofe

I just received Black Iron in the mail. It’s a beauty. The pictures are great. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a note and autograph it. Carl Windle

“Wanted to drop a quick note that on Sat I received the John Davis book with the special bonus. What a great weekend, first the other day received my Dino Files now today the long awaited John Davis book. I couldn't read the whole book, but what I have read, it is a great book.” -- Joe DeSena

“I received Black Iron yesterday, and I can only say "Excellent!" I am already half way done with your very thick tome, because I am having a difficult time putting it down. It is an easy, interesting read, and I must congratulate you on your fine work. This book is a must for iron game enthusiasts.” -- Larry Aumann
“Brooks, book came today – it is FANTASTIC!” -- Joe Tarach
“Black Iron arrived today. Awesome job, thanks for signing it for me as well.” -- Patrick Shead
“Received Black Iron in the mail today. I've already started it and it looks like I will really enjoy it. Thanks for taking the time to sign it. I had hoped for years that someone would do a book on John Davis. Some I know said it would never happen but thankfully they were wrong. My Dad used to tell me about weight lifting, saying that “John Davis is the best we have.” Dad is now long gone and I'm past 75 myself but now I'll get to know more about this great champion who was admired by two generations in my family. Thanks for all the hard work and research, not becoming discouraged and seeing it thru to the completion of the fine book it is.” -- Bob Hornick
“I just got Black Iron in the mail. If the contents are as good as the appearance and layout, it should be great. And I expect it to be. Thanks for your continuing contribution to the Iron Game.” -- Ben Oldham
“Black Iron hit Zanesville today. One monster of a book! Looking forward to reading this one.” -- Don Graham
“My mail just arrived and Black Iron was in the box! I can't wait to start reading! I have been lifting since 1960 and remember seeing references to Mr. Davis in the Hoffman books and magazines back then. Thanks for doing the research on this champion.” -- Carmen Caputo
“Hi Brooks, I received BLACK IRON today. It looks to be an awesome read, I will be starting on it as soon as I finish this email to you.” -- Robert McNall
“It is hot here on Long Island and it just got hotter. Yes, Black Iron has arrived and the photos alone are worth the price of the book. Really going to enjoy this one. Thanks for doing this the right way, you know what I mean.” -- Peter Yates
“I just got back from my mailbox and am happy to report that Black Iron has arrived! It looks great and I'm about to dive into it.” -- Mike McAleenan
“The Beast has arrived! Black Iron, a cold beer and a hot afternoon -- it's a trifecta!” Mark Smallwood
So the bottom line is – the book is GREAT – it’s bigger, thicker an dheavier than anyone imagined – the photos are terrific – and readers are going crazy about it.
