Review of The World of Lucha Libre by Heather Levi

With the holiday season fast approaching, the market is starting to get flooded with wrestling related products. Over the course of the next few weeks, I will be posting quite a few reviews that will help both regular readers of this site as well as their friends and family as they try and decide what to put under the Christmas tree for the wrestling fan in their life.

I have just finished reading The World of Lucha Libre, a book that takes a look at the history of the sport. I learned a very important lesson with this book and one that I need to share with all of you. Only because an item looks like it is geared towards a wrestling fan because it uses wrestling terminology and a picture of a wrestler on the cover that does not mean wrestling fans are the intended purchasers of the item. If you want to know who the intended readers are of this book, you have to read my review.
