5.0 out of 5 stars
Up to date version is very useful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Billiards, Revised and Updated: The Official Rules and Records Book (Paperback)
The version I bought is the 2005 version and is very good. It has the latest World-standardised rules for 9-ball, 8-ball, straight pool and a host of other games, including snooker. Very useful for avoiding disputes! The book also has some information on the history of pool, some basic tips for playing pool and various records and results of past competitions. Note that this book relates to American pool, and the 8-ball rules are the World-standardised rules, which differ from the English pool rules.

This issue is badly out of date. Useless at this price.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Billiards: The Official Rules (Paperback)
The current issue was released in late 1998 and it includes many rules changes from the offered issue. At the right price, it would be useful for those wanting an excellent recent history of the games played.

I have more fun now!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Billiards: The Official Rules & Records Book 1998 (Paperback)
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.

I really wish more people would read this.,
By S. McCandlish "Webmaster, pool instructor, an... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Billiards: The Official Rules (Paperback)
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.
