The book "Ten Pounds of Gold" is a must-have for anyone who is passionate about the history of the NWA and the iconic championship belt. With endorsements from wrestling experts like Tim Hornbaker, Greg Oliver, and Mike Mooneyham, it's clear that this book is a valuable resource for wrestling enthusiasts.

In 2008, Dick Bourne and Dave Millican had the incredible opportunity to inspect and photograph the authentic NWA world heavyweight championship belt that was worn by legends like Ric Flair, Terry Funk, and Harley Race. This experience inspired Bourne to create a book that delved into the history and construction of the NWA belt, with the goal of sharing their unique opportunity with others. The result was "Ten Pounds of Gold".

This Revised & Expanded Second Edition includes an additional 70 pages of photographs, memorabilia, and historical information. It also features a new title history chapter with behind-the-scenes details, as well as an expanded chapter on the night the belt was first presented and defended. The book also includes champion profiles and detailed, close-up photos of the belt itself, offering a comprehensive history of its creation.

Drawing from their own expertise and research, Bourne and Millican present the NWA belt in a way that has never been seen before, making it a dream come true for enthusiasts. As one satisfied customer put it, "The only thing that could be better would be to hold the actual belt. This book is that good."

"Ten Pounds of Gold" has received high praise from wrestling insiders like Scott Bowden and James J. Dillon, who described it as a fabulous book. It's a must-read for any old-school wrestling fan, and a valuable resource for those interested in the rich history of the NWA and its iconic championship belt.
