The Book of the American Pit Bull Terrier                $37.00

Published in 1981, this  book has an abundance of color and black and white photographs, including pictures of Jack Johnson and John P. Colby with a dog.  Also pictured is Jack Dempsey with two dogs, and there are pictures of a classic match in the early forties.  Although there is ample coverage of all types of information on the breed, the historical context was one of the public hysteria over fighting dogs and the resulting egregious legislation.  349 pages.
