Hi all you boxing fans! I have two very old boxing books found after clearing out my grandfathers house!

Famous boxing journalist who's book looks back at his long experience as a fight writer, with reference to all the great glove artists from the turn of the century, including Jonny Summers, Jimmy Britt,Tom Thomas, Bill Lang, Jack Dempsey, Kid Lewis, Young Stribling, Tommy Milligan and Tommy Burns to name but a few. The writer was the father of Frank Butler also a well known boxing writer! Contains lots of old photos!
The other book is:-

A few words from the preface-
I have set out to write this book, to answer a certain incident at the National Sporting Club on the occasion of my fight with Gunner Moir!
It also contains details of all old styles of boxing including pictures!
So would anyone be interested in buying these before i put them on ebay?
