First and foremost, this is a book of photos. Depending on who you talk to, this book would be described and 'wonderful' or 'atrocious'. One thing that cannot be denied is that this is the best collection of true-to-life photos on the breed to date.

 If you are a conservative-minded, suburban or upper-class owner of these dogs 9and there are many of these), prepare to be shocked. People and surroundings pictured in this book are not conservative to any stretch of the imagination. They basically look like bikers, rappers and people of generally lower socio-economic status. But these people show genuine affection for their dogs. Viewpoints portrayed in this book are most positive. Their dogs are not abused.

 Text portion of this book contains interviews with some of the most prominent figures in the world of APBT today, Colby, Frank Rocca and Floyd Boudreaux to name a few. There is a section on history and, only briefly, on conformation as well.

 This is not a small book. It's pretty heavy and substantial. If you ignore a few images from the front of the book and if you are looking for images of some beautiful dogs, you will be left breathless.

 The text  portion of the book is rather concise. Many interviews are in point form. As mentioned above, this is, after all, a book of beautiful pictures of our breed.

Recommended? For sure! This book will definitely be a useful addition to any serious owner and student of the breed.

This is one of the shorter reviews. Picture tells a thousand words. Grab this book. You'll know what I mean.
