Editor Bill Mann, Art Director Chris Kalb and Designer David Kalb will bring you back to those wild, dog fighting days of the first half of the 20th Century with these beautifully designed books. The text has been re-set, but Chris and David painstakingly preserve the original illustrations from a bygone era, most of them by master artist Frederick Blakeslee.
