Jonathan Eig:
There are so many "slightly different versions" of quotes attributed to Ali to be found. For the ones I can't find in your book, I'm wondering if you have a suggestion for where else to focus? I'm in the copyedit stage of a my middle grade novel (one of the characters has an Ali obsession). We're going back and forth on the best, most definitive guide to Ali's quotes.

Good question! I relied on primary sources as much as possible. Try newspapers.com, Proquest, and the Sports Illustrated archives for starters. Good luck!
