I've been told by a lot of people this is one of the best wrestling bios ever written. If you're interested in a copy I suggest you order it quickly (I've ordered mine!) When it was out of print copies were going on ebay for $2-300.

I have heard great things about this book as well. I will have to load my PayPal account so I can purchase this. Hopefully I will order it in time.

Always been interested in this. May take a look into it but $37 is a bit steep for a book.

I just placed my order then. I might post a review of it here once I have read it.

LOL Scott that's normal retail price over here, a lot of books cost $40. I know a lot of people (including myself) who have pretty much badgered him into doing another print run, as it's self published he has to re-coup the costs. I'm sure it's well worth it.

 

[The New F'n Show]

I'm sure it is too. Most books around here are around $25 so I felt $37 was steep. For example I paid $28 for Jericho's. In this case it may be worth it though for sure. Troy I'd love a review.

In Australia we are used to paying higher amounts for books. There is an extra tax on imported books supposedly to keep the Australian publishing industry in business, they say they will go under if they aren't protected. Unfortunately it just makes most dislike the industry and the way to ensure Australian publishing is competitive is to ensure high quality books are released. In shops here if you can get Jericho's new book for under $35 you have a great deal. I am amazed at the prices of books overseas, when I was on holiday in England I bought quite a few that were half the price I would pay here.

The book is in the mail and hopefully will arrive this week. I will definitely post a review once I have read it.

Olga has your copied arrived yet?

I am still waiting for mine to arrive in the mail.

Just a quick note to say that I finished it a couple of months ago and it was probably the best wrestling book I have ever read. It is easily top three with Jericho's first and Foley's first but I would probably say that I enjoyed it more than those two. He goes into incredible detail and it is fascinating to read about how wrestling worked in the territory days. I will eventually post a proper review but for now I can't recommend it highly enough.
