Dear Friends,

One of the gifts I(Mark) opened this morning was “Grappling Glory: Celebrating a Century of Minnesota Wrestling & Rasslin’” by Ross Bernstein…

What a wonderful book!

It’s jam-packed with interesting information and tons of photos of great amateur wrestlers and pro rasslers who have some connection to the state of Minnesota.

The book strikes a nice balance between amateur and pro — neither “side” is short-changed.

There’s good stuff about Minnesota high school wrestling… the University of Minnesota program, and other college programs… and all-time pro greats, including Verne Gagne and Brad Rheingans and Brock Lesnar.

If you have any interest in any aspect of the sport in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, I urge you to add this book to your library. You’ll thank me for it.

You can purchase the book direct from the author at his website: http://www.bernsteinbooks.com/GrapplingGlory.htm

Merry Christmas,
Mark
