  In this audiobook you receive an actual audiobook about the history of pro wrestling and wrestling figures as well as a wrestling figures price guide combined in one. 
  Few would argue that wrestling fans are one of the most fanatical sports fan bases around. Contrary to popular belief, the wrestling fan base isn't limited to the WWE; rather it stretches to the WWF, NWA, AWA, WCW, NJPW, AEW, and UFC. Today, wrestling is followed by millions, if not billions, of people around the world. 
  Wrestling collectibles such as wrestling cards, figures, and memorabilia are a major reason professional wrestling has so many fans. Wrestling figures were among the favorite toys of kids in the '80s and '90s. Many of those kids have maintained their passion for wrestling figures to date even though they're all grown up now. 
  If you're among the above then I'm betting that you go out of your way to find your favorite wrestling figures. Fortunately for you, wrestling figures and other wrestling collectibles are easily available and at affordable prices. However, to get the best deal, you must find out how much each wrestling figure/set is worth. 
  After you've listened to this audiobook or wrestling price guide, you'll know what wrestling collectibles are available and what their price is. This will ensure that you don't buy a wrestling collectible for more than what it's worth. Additionally, this will help you to get the best possible deal for a collectible you own.

  What are the rules of etiquette in a bothy full of strangers?How cold, exactly, can a Scottish summer get?And how many cans of beer can a man carry whilst fording a swollen river?
  Second Man on the Rope tackles all these questions and more, a celebrating Scotland's mountains come sun, sleet or snow, through the stories of a great climbing partnership.
  Ranging from the Cairngorms to Glencoe, from Nevis to Knoydart and from the Cuillin to the Cobbler, this book weaves the story of a friendship amongst witty – and often alarming – tales of mountaineering mishaps. These richly entertaining tales will delight all who love the Scottish hills – be they mountaineers, day-outers, Munro-baggers (like the author) or merely armchair ramblers.
  Written with a wealth of knowledge, this mountaineering classic is a warm and witty celebration of friendship, forged over many years, between the author and his 'first man' – Davie. Together they form one of the great double acts of climbing literature. They face with humour and fortitude all that the mountains can pit against them – winter avalanches, raging rivers, rats in bothies and Brummies in baseball boots.

  Humorous, insightful essays on outdoor life from the renowned contributor and editor of Field & Stream—“one of the best magazine writers in America” (The Wall Street Journal).   Living the life of an outdoorsman doesn’t necessarily take skill. After more than two decades of writing about his adventures (and misadventures), Bill Heavey has proven that being a true outdoorsman just takes enthusiasm, determination, and a willingness to, occasionally, make a fool of oneself.  You’re Not Lost If You Can Still See the Truck gathers together more than sixty of Heavey’s best stories from his work in Field & Stream, The Washington Post, and The Washingtonian. Including retellings of his adventures hunting ants in the urban jungles of Washington, DC; braving freezing winter expeditions in Eastern Alaska; attempting to impress ladies by immediately flipping over his canoe; and planning deer hunts around dad-duties, these tales are chock full of life, insight, and, of course, hilarity.   Here is a far-ranging and enlightening volume that traces a life lived outdoors, for better or for worse.   “To the list of great Field & Stream essayists . . . add the name Bill Heavey. His writing is funny, poignant, acerbic, and, best of all, always alert to the absurdities of life.” —Patrick C. McManus

  Today, millions of women and girls around the world enjoy running and entering races. It wasn't always so:● In 1961, when Julia Chase edged to the start of a Connecticut 5-miler, officials tried to push her off the road.● At the 1966 Boston Marathon, Roberta Gibb hid behind a forsythia bush, worried that police might arrest her.● The next year at Boston, Kathrine Switzer was assaulted mid-race by a furious race organizer.● In the mid-60s, Indianapolis high schooler Cheryl Bridges was told not to run anywhere near the boys' track team because she might "distract" them.● When Charlotte Lettis signed up for the University of Massachusetts cross-country team in the fall of 1971, she was told to use the men's locker room.First Ladies of Running tells the inspiring stories of these and other runners who refused to give up despite the cultural and sports barriers they faced. Legends such as Doris Brown, Francie Larrieu, Mary Decker, Jackie Hansen, Miki Gorman, and Grete Waitz are chronicled by Runner's World editor Amby Burfoot. Burfoot even runs the 1994 Marine Corps Marathon with Oprah Winfrey, whose successful finish opened the floodgates for other women runners.
