Hi Shady,this is the book that your pages are from,I bought this from the"Evenig Dispatch"in 1947 when I was 14 years old & I still have it,I have followed the Villa since my first visit with my Dad back in 1938,I was 5 then,I can't believe were all the years have gone,I also have lots of photo's from the war time newspapers concerning all the midland clubs,The book is the history of Aston Villa in cartoon form by Norman Edwards who was the cartoonist for the "Birmingham Evening Dispatch" & the old saturday night sports paper the "Agus".Those where the days !!!
Best wishes
Brian Harding
