FROM BROADWAY TO BOMBAY: Marty Reisman (1930-2012)

In the late 1990s I worked at a small used bookshop on Fourth Avenue. A lot of unusual printed matter passed through the stacks. One time a writer for the Village Voice sold us his book collection, which included a copy of The Money Player: The Confessions of America’s Greatest Table Tennis Champion and Hustler (1974), by Marty Reisman.
