Ben Marks of Collectors Weekly says: "Last week, Wink published a review of Cat Food for Thought and Dog Food for Thought by Warren Dotz. Coincidentally, we had an interview with Warren in the works, which we just published, along with a few of the mid-20th-century pet-food labels from his book."
Here's a snip of Warren talking about some of the auctions he won to build up his collection:
"I found a scrapbook made by a woman who had collected all the food labels she used from 1970 to 1972," recalls Dotz of one auction. "I also found a supermarket's salesman's catalog that contained all the labels for its generic, store-branded products. When I bought that catalog, I was hoping I would find a fantastic pet-food label, and sure enough I did. It was for a brand of cat food called Corky — it looks almost like the Napster logo."
