1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money!!!, June 18, 1997

This review is from: Billiards for Advanced Players (Winning Edge of Sports Series) (Paperback)

This was certainly one of the worst pool books I
have ever read. I bought this book because it was
supposed to be for advanced players. There was absolutely nothing in this book that I didn't already know. And I am certainly not advanced enough to know everything about pool. It is more a book of fundamentals than anything else. The book by George Fels was 100 times better. I would definately not recommend this book

This small sequel to the Billiards for Beginners volume is really more for intermediate players. While a book like Byrned's Advanced or Play Your Best Pool will teach you a lot more, there are a handful of gems in here. My rule of thumb: Get every pool book you can find, because you'll learn at least one thing from each of them that the other authors forgot to write about. (This is especially true if you re-read them, more than once - you won't absorb every detail in every book the first time through. Absorb what you can, play for 6 months, and start re-reading; repeat). Anyway, yes, this book doesn't get very in-depth about anything (what do you expect for such a small publication?) But it's cheap. And at roughly the price of one (good) beer, how can you lose?
