Big Gold A Close Look at Pro Wrestling Most Celebrated Championship Belt Dick Bourne Dave Millican James J Dillon 9781499265569 Books Reviews

• I love this book, it's absolutely fantastic. It details the circumstances surrounding the original idea for a new NWA championship belt, the actual crafting of the plates, the leather, the nameplates... And also the entire history of the belt in the ring, in the court room, replacing the strap... You name it, it's here. It answers every question you could ever think to ask.... except one. And unfortunately, it's a biggie
  
  Where has the belt been all these years?
  
  As mentioned in the book, the original belt disappeared in 2000, and was finally located in 2013. Unfortunately.... that's it. The book provides no information about what happened to the belt or where it's been all these years. I understand the current owner's desire for privacy, of course, and do not blame the author for this lapse. But it's still a very major flaw in the book.
  
  Don't let this scare you off, though! The photos alone are worth the price of admission, they are absolutely spectacular. And the details of the restoration are extremely interesting.
  
  If you're a fan of the Big Gold belt... Buy this book. You will devour it.
• The book seems to be a bit pricey, but it is worth every penny. TONS of photos from the Belts creation, the name plates, the WCW cast copy, which wrestlers have copies of the belt, and it even mentions the small dent in the main plate in WCW. Lovely book.. just lovely. So many photos, and information about this belt. Gonna read this, again and again.
• I was hoping for a "coffee table" size book. Still a well written book. Learned a lot from it.
• Been reading it and am amazed at the details in this book. Before i spent 35 on it i debated that being too much but any fan of this belt and the history in wrestling should buy this book. You'll thank me later.
• I love it
• Great history lesson on the big gold. Details which I'm guessing a lot of people didn't know
• Amazing book. Would definitely recommend.
• I ordered this for my son,big fan, he loved it, very informative.
