Welcome to Pit Bull Community!
We are dedicated to the preservation of the pit bull in its original form as a game-bred dog and in its modern incarnations as a loving companion pet and top competitor in weight pull competitions and conformation shows.
We are opposed to all forms of animal cruelty, and do not promote any illegal activities, but we celebrate the history of the pit bull and value its qualities of courage, strength and tenacity as the essence of the breed.
We are therefore against all forms of breed-specific legislation, and work to protect the constitutional rights of pit bull owners.

Here is a good start to read it online, I dont know how it compares to the real book in hand but it does teach a lot, and Tex is right... knowledge about Vet info should be of the utmost importance before reading other useless info about APBTs. I found this site very informative compared to other books...Tex could you check this out and see if it is like the real manual...

Re: Best Book To Get
IN the 80's the most popular book by far was Stratton's third book World of the APBT. IT's still my favorite of the ones I've read. I've not, however, read the Complete Gamedog in full. I would say avoid Stratton's last book as his second and third are better. Also avoid Semencic books. The Colby book is good

I agree, between those two books many questions will be answered.
I've got Roccas book too, but found it more a call to arms to start fighting back against the bullshit surrounding the breed and everyday life than an informative book on bulldogs. He does delve rather deeply into the geneology of many dogs although.
