This book is a wonderful reference volume for the lover of mid 20th Century design, and invaluable for the Midwinter enthusiast! The colour photos are exceptional and the patterns are also explicitly described in chronological order.

Filled with Vitality and Drama
As a long-time Staffordshire collector, I was delighted when my copy of this book arrived. My personal library contains numerous Staffordshire figure catalogs and "studies," but I've never read anything like this incredible book before. The authors have brought the Staffordshire figure-making era into remarkable focus with an immediacy that takes the reader into that long-ago time when ...

Miller's Staffordshire Figures of the 19th & 20th Centuries,
As an amature collector of Staffordshire Figures, I was looking for an inexpensive book to help with my collecting. In the City where I live, one can rarely find Staffordshire figures for sale. I started collecting on ebay and through that site I ran across Miller's book that Kit Harding and A. & N. Harding, who listed Staffordshire figures, consulted in writing. I cannot say enough good things ...

Joseph Janish

Kennel Club Books, 2004

Extremely Useful Guide
As a person fond of dogs, not a professional, and first-time-owner of an American Staffordshire, I found this guide extremely useful, and well organised. The guide is what it should be: a book with tips, hints guides, and what to do and not to do. If you are not knowledgable on raising a pup or dog, this is certainly a good book to own!

A happy, friendly tank with legs
This is a superior breed reference and history, many very good b/w photos including many historical pictures; Not a "Pit Bull', but definately one of the foundations of that maligned breed--the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a happy, sociable breed, much underappreciated in the US, the 5th most popular breed in the UK. go figure!
