This is a great book if you like the show Pawn Stars on History. It's my favorite show so when I saw this book was coming out I pre-ordered it and read it completely the day it was released. It's a great insight to the ins & outs of the Gold & Silver pawn shop in Las Vegas. Rick covers things from his personal life, his family's dramatic push for financial success and everything (no, literally everything) in between. Thrown in the mix are stories about some of his memorable shop patrons and stories about them or the items they brought in. He goes in to details about the show as well. This is an excellent, entertaining, insightful, fun and inspirational book for any fan of the show, of pawn shops in general or the American dream. (go figure, a NON fiction where hard work, dedication, knowledge, hustle pays off) Stop reading this and go read the book.
