Excellent book. It's amazing how many commonly accepted practices for games such as Eight Ball are wrong according to the official rules. More people need to buy this book!
I really wish more people would read this.

Every bar, tavern, club and hall with a pool table (in the US) should have a copy of this on-hand. The horrendous inconsistence and outright ridiculousness of most local and house "rules", not to mention individual "rules", has made a sorry mess of recreational American pocket billiards. I can only hope that the REAL games of 8-ball, 9-ball, etc., become better known to amateur players over time, and that the bogus, corrupt, yokel variants of these games finally die off some day.
EXCELLENT

WOW! I WISH I HAD THIS BOOK ON THANKSGIVING - IT SURE WOULD HAVE SAVED SOME TIME AND EVERYONE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A CHANCE TO PLAY. YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALWAYS THAT ONE PERSON THAT SAYS, "YOU CAN'T DO THAT' OR 'POOL HASN'T BEEN PLAYED LIKE THAT IN YEARS", AND THEN -- WELL, I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU
I have more fun now!

I have learned to play more than just straight 8-ball. This book has the rules for tons of other fun and easy games, including pictures.
