scouseman Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) if anyone is looking at getting the book by sir william regal waking a golden mile it is available at World of Books for the reasonable price of £17.99. WOB also has discounts available. type in google world of books discount codes should work. In general I have bought a ton of wrestling books from them recently. https://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/william-regal/walking-a-golden-mile/9780743477819 Edited March 11, 2023 by scouseman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter far more interesting than the WWE published one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it was out of print for a while, it was difficult to find for anything like a reasonable price for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted March 13, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted March 13, 2023 Funnily enough, I found my copy of Walking a Golden Mile two days ago while cleaning out the attic, was just going to take it round to the charity shop.

Over the years I've bought and sold quite a few copies of this book, always making a nice little profit. Cheapest I think I bought it at was £7 and the most expensive I've sold it for was £45. I wish I had bought just more than my own copy when the Works were selling them for £4 brand new not long after it just came out. Never mind, I thought I'd strike it rich with copies of Hogan's 2nd book instead.....still got them!! 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same charity shop owner knows I am a wrestling fan and recently gave me a whole stack of WWE DVD's for 20p each I remember poundland selling wrestling books at one point Ray's and one of Mick foley's books were sold for a £1.
