"Secrets of a world champion revealed with clear text and diagrams. This one will repay every minute you spend with it".--Mike Shamos, author of "The New Illustrated Encyclopedia of Billiards" and curator of the Billiard Archive. Illustrations throughout.

I think the book will be extremely usefull to all pool players that are use to moving the cue ball all over the table with little regard for absolute position and control. It's a no nonsense approach to the game of Straight Pool and Billiards in general. It a good resource that can be usefull in all cue games.

The Straight Pool Bible conveys the basics (physical and mental), the art, and the strategy of playing pool in the most simple yet comprehensive manner. Beginners as well as advanced players will learn much from reading less than 200 pages. The information is clear, and the diagrams are most helpful. Of course the concentration of the book is straight pool, for which there is ample instruction; but the lessons learned...
