Product Description
Synopsis
Providing guidance for beginners and experts alike, hundreds of photographs, illustrations and examples are used to bring to life a detailed analysis of every aspect of the game. Also included is the full story of pool's evolution from its little known medieval roots to modern day superstardom, including profiles of the game's leading personalities and complete listings of all major tournament results. The focus of the book is on the game of eight ball pool as traditionally played on the smaller tables found predominantly in the United Kingdom, Australasia, Africa and parts of the rest of Europe and Asia, one of the most popular incarnations of the game, yet one about which surprisingly little has thus far been written. Much of the material is, however, equally relevant to the versions of the game played in America and parts of the rest of the world, as indeed it is to snooker and billiards, with which games pool shares much of its basic technique.

So refreshing to finally find a book about pool written by someone who not only comes across as being really knowledgeable about the game but who also knows how to write about it in an engaging style.
An amazing amount of material is included both on how to play the game and the history of cue sports. I particularly enjoyed reading the chapter on how to win which contains some interesting stuff on the psychology of sport which I had not come across before.

I got this book a few weeks ago and haven't been able to put it down!! It has everything that a pool player could be interested in from beginner level to advanced. I have been playing for many years and fyet ound a lot of exercises I have enjoyed trying out and perfecting! This book has the history of the game, coaching to help you improve, trick-shots and much more. It is very well laid out and easy to read. Really enjoying it and would very much recommend it to any pool enthusiasts out there!!

What a fantastic book this is. It covers everything I always wanted to know about pool, it even covers how to change a cue tip and general guidance on what type of cue to buy. To be honest it could of gone into alot more detail in places but it covers all subjects about posisioning and how to apply spin to a ball. it has a nice section on rules so you can compare the different rules most widely used and has a very nice section on trick shot so you can impress your friends..
Best book I have ever bought on the subject of pool and would love to see one snooker
