Avoid Jimmy Hart's. Dutch Mantel's first book is supposed to be full of good stories.

I may be mistaken, but I think Jericho has a 4th coming out in August you can pre-order, called "No Is A Four-Letter Word: How I Failed Spelling But Succeeded At Life".

The Three Count by Jimmy Korderas. A wonderfully written book providing an alternative take to the business.

a must read is Freddie blassies book, also Lou Theszs book "Hooker" is a must buy, one of the best books I've read and a great way to read about bygone eras. I'd also recommend buying Stan Hansens book and "Shooter" by Jonathan Snowden which details many of pro wrestling a shoot wrestlers.

So my parents sent me a 100 dollar amazon gift card as an early mother's day present and I'm not allowed to spend it on anyone but myself. I've decided to just buy a shitload of books. So what are some good wrestling books? I already own all Mick Foley's books The first two of Jericho's Daniel Bryan's And the new NXT book will be at my house on Tuesday. So what else is out there that's really interesting? I'd also recommend the Titan series. Titan Sinking covers WWF in 1995, Titan Shattered for 1996 and Titan Screwed for 1997. Not at the same caliber as the bios, but good for history. I also liked Captiol Revolution, the story on how the McMahons took Capitol to the WWWF and then the WWF, ending with the birth of Hulkamania.
