Book Reviews of Byrne's New Standard Book of Pool and Billiards
Book Review: A review before publication?
Summary: 4 Stars
This is regarding the previous review. How can you review a new edition of the book before it becomes available? I have the previous version but I am not going to review this book until I have seen and read it.
Summary of Byrne's New Standard Book of Pool and Billiards
Now updated throughout and expanded with new material on strategy in eight- and nine-ball, trick shots, and billiard memorabilia, this comprehensive guide to cue games remains ?the definitive work on pool and billiards? (National Billiard News). Index; diagrams and photographs.
In the world of cue sticks and side pockets, this is the gospel, the 1998 revised, standard version of the 1978 bible. A champion player, indefatigable writer, and inexhaustible promoter of his sport, Byrne racks his book into two halves, the first a primer on pool, the second on three-cushion billiards. Beginning with the fundamentals, he goes on to run the table with lots of readable advice and detailed diagrams for how to play individual shots, including trick shots, strategies for eight- and nine-ball, and rules for the major pool games. Then it's on to billiards, where he banks from the fundamentals to the art of shot making and tactics for play at every level, touching on every conceivable cushion along the way. --Jeff Silverman
