What A Life!
What A Life! by Jeff Patterson is a 2005 paperback memoir that blends autobiography with Australian cultural history, appealing to both young adults and adult readers interested in sport, business and true‑story narratives. The book offers a vivid look at boxing, VFL football and small‑business entrepreneurship set against the backdrop of Melbourne’s past.

The copy comes from a smoke‑free home and is tightly bound, though the front and back inner covers show some marks and the closed page edge exhibits mild foxing. It includes a gift inscription on the front paper, adding a personal touch to its condition.
At 304 pages, this Ibis Publishing title is a solid representation of early‑2000s Australian nonfiction, suitable for anyone looking to explore the intersections of sport, entrepreneurship and personal narrative.
