"The only thing that could be better would be to hold the actual belt. This book is that good." - Eric King, Rural Retreat, VA www.TenPoundsOfGold.com or www.NWABelt.com
"This book is the perfect tribute to the most respected symbol in pro wrestling. Having been a fan of the belt since I first saw Ric Flair with it on TV in the 80's, I thought I'd seen it all when it came to the Domed Globe. Now, owning this book, I feel like I really have. The only thing that could be better would be to hold the actual belt. This book is that good. It will be a cherished piece of my collection from now on. Any real fan of the NWA World Title belt should own this book!" - Eric King, Rural Retreat, VA "Ten Pounds of Gold has everything you always wanted to know about the NWA belt...but were too much of a mark to ask. This will look amazing on my coffee table." - Scott Bowden, Kentucky Fried Rasslin' "We die-hard vintage NWA wrestling fans owe Dick and Dave a huge 'thanks' for assembling the definitive written and photographed history of the sport's 'Holy Grail' - - - the NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP belt. These two have put together a great book of reference, with great narrative and illustrations. It's everything a fan of the business could want." - Mike Cline, Thornhill Entertainment - Mid-Atlantic Grapplin' Greats "I received my copy this past Monday and was very impressed with the way that it was packaged and sealed so that nothing was creased or damaged. As for the contents…. Well lets just say “10 pounds of gold!" Awesome job on the pictures, as well as the details in terms of where, how, and why; the different versions and the men that wore the championship that all of us consider as the greatest championship belt of all time. Thanks for a truly awesome book on my favorite material possession; the NWA World title belt!" - Chris Kovachis, Mississauga, ON, Canada "I received your book "Ten Pounds of Gold" Wednesday and couldn't put it down for three hours.
