I published Clabby's biography in October of 2010 after having visited Australia in 09. I was the house guest of Arnold Thomas and attended the ANBHOF annual induction dinner at the Melbourne Cricket Grounds. Arnold introduced me to Geoff Pritchard, grandson of Dave Smith, the great Australian heavyweight whom Clabby fought on 7 occasions. Also met up with John Wren, great grandson of John Wren, a monumental figure in Australian boxing history. He took us for a tour of Melbourne Stadium which is now called Festival Hall. It was a great trip and provided inspiration for my completing Jimmy's biography. The Melbourne Sports Book Shop had some copies of the book but if you have a Kindle you can download it directly from Amazon.com more economically. Shipping costs to Australia from America is high, so the electronic version of the book is the way to go if you have the Kindle. Hope this helps to clarify the background of the book on Jimmy Clabby
