In 1925, a deadly diphtheria epidemic swept through icebound Nome, Alaska. The life-saving serum was a thousand miles away, and a blizzard was brewing. Airplanes could not fly in such conditions: only the dogs could do it. Racing against death, twenty dog teams relayed the serum across the Alaskan wilderness as newspapers nationwide headlined the drama, enthralling an entire generation. The heroic dash to Nome inspired the annual Iditarod Dog Sled Race in Alaska and immortalized Balto, the lead dog whose arrival in Nome over a snow-blown trail was an American legend in the making. His bronze statue still stands in New York City's Central Park, in dedication to the "Endurance, Fidelity and Intelligence" of the dogs that saved Nome. This is their story, the greatest dog story never fully told, until now.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great wallet
Color: Steven Medium Brown, Size: One Size
Great and very durable wallet. They are slim, fit well in a pocket, and are thin, unless you have lots of CC and money in it.

Slim and elegant, beautiful leather
Color: Derrick Brown, Size: One Size
I bought this wallet for my son for his 36th birthday. I love that it is a true Fossil wallet and all that goes with anything that is a Fossil product. Style, masculine elegance, beautiful soft grain leather, and the Fossil logo embedded on the front, right bottom of the billfold. It came in different colors but I chose the soft brown one. This is also very sleek, has plenty of compartments for ID, cash, credit and business cards, and it is RFID blocked. I didn't realize when I purchased this that it is to be worn in the front pocket of the pant. It is a fashion made for men who don't appreciate a wallet in the back. It can be very uncomfortable and someone can easily lift the wallet out of the back pocket...So Fossil is producing this item to wear in the front for easy access and protection. It is small but no less accommodating. I showed it to one of my other son's and he wished I'd get one for him, and he is very fashion-forward, but practical. So I'm very pleased with my purchase although I haven't heard from the birthday boy yet! Also it came in the usual Fossil tin box that all their products are housed in-original with a bit of funk, perfect for any aged man.

Perfect G Shock for my use
Perfect G Shock King Red
I have read many reviews on this Robust G shock. Im a night time duty officer. The red face and big black resin is great. The reddish pink light is actually low key. When im out in the sun I have no issue in looking at the time date etc. Besides everything else about the king red. Yes the stands out and obvious. Im more than satisfied.
