This large, thick book is a fast read because
it's mostly black and white pictures. There are a few pages of text in
the introduction, and the rest consists of captions. That said, the text
does tell the stories of the two Fairbanks men in blunt, fair detail.
The photos chronicle from birth to death in Senior's case, as Jr was
still alive when this was published in the 1970s.
