rvinid said Pass this one by unless you've read every other pool book ever written.. Not relevant for the kind of pool and people who are playing anywhere around here Seems like dated material, and no fluidity in style makes for a slog to get through this short assemblage of mix and match generalizations and observations as seen from the authors perspective. May apply. OK for a beginner Z-Man Slender tome about how to keep the table once you get your chance. No "sharking" techniques that I'd never run across, most of them quite mild compared to what happens in pool rooms all over.. "Great Read!" according to Mike Bukala. a unique insight into the game's subtleties, the true reason we all love this game. this book has me inspired to read more. highly recommend!
