About this product

Product Information

In Las Vegas, there's a family-owned business called the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, run by three generations of the Harrison family: Rick; his son, Big Hoss; and Rick's dad, the Old Man. Now License to Pawn takes readers behind the scenes of the hit History show Pawn Stars and shares the fascinating life story of its star, Rick Harrison, and the equally intriguing story behind the shop, the customers, and the items for sale. Rick hasn't had it easy. He was a math whiz at an early age, but developed a similarly uncanny ability to find ever-deepening trouble that nearly ruined his life. With the birth of his son, he sobered up, reconnected with his dad, and they started their booming business together. License to Pawn also offers an entertaining walk through the pawn shop's history. It's a captivating look into how the Gold & Silver works, with incredible stories about the crazy customers and the one-of-a-kind items that the shop sells. Rick isn't only a businessman; he's also a historian and keen observer of human nature. For instance, did you know that pimps wear lots of jewelry for a reason? It's because if they're arrested, jewelry doesn't get confiscated like cash does, and ready money will be available for bail. Or that WWII bomber jackets and Zippo lighters can sell for a freakishly high price in Japan? Have you ever heard that the makers of Ormolu clocks, which Rick sells for as much as $15,000 apiece, frequently died before forty thanks to the mercury in the paint? Rick also reveals the items he loves so much he'll never sell. The shop has three Olympic bronze medals, a Patriots Super Bowl ring, a Samurai sword from 1490, and an original Iwo Jima battle plan. Each object has an incredible story behind it, of course. Rick shares them all, and so much more -- there's an irresistible treasure trove of history behind both the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop and the life of Rick Harrison.

Excellent book about a very popular show and it's author! Well written and quite captivating!
Excellent book about a very popular show and it's author! Well written and quite captivating! The book delves into the mind of Rick Harrison (& other family members connected with the show) and how the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop came to be. A lot about his life growing up (it really was very hard for him - he had many grand mal seizures) and things that led to his getting into this business. Great book - I highly recommend it!

Watch the show..read the book!!
If you're a fan of the History Channel TV reality show, "Pawn Stars", this is a MUST read. With excerpts by all the characters on the show..the book is MOSTLY written by Rick Harrison, the pawn shop's second generation owner. He writes about his troubled childhood and the troubles of bringing up his oldest son, Cory, also known as "Big Hoss" on the show. BUT..my favorite character that Rick writes about is "Old Man", as he calls him..not THE Old Man..just "Old Man". I would love to sit down and try to have a conversation with him!! He seems to be QUITE a character. Rick also lets us in on some of the quirky characters that we don't get to see on the show that are apparently regulars in the shop. AND..he writes about some of the things "that come in thru that door". Liked the book..LOVE the show.Read full review
