I have a sighned copy of bob stevens dogs of velvet and steal (the best performance dog book ever written imo). Also i had both copys of bobby halls books, must be worth a fortune now but i lent them out and lost contact. i had the original photos and kennel notes from rickey B's kennels from ireland when he had pyscho etc! not bad ah. reckon they would fetch a pretty some.
i've had all the others at some point or other. I think that 'world of fighting dogs' book has a lot to answer for lol.
