Excellent Reference

This is an excellent reference book. Byrne's knowledge and writing style make this a must have for anyone starting to take the game seriously.

The first book any pool player should own

This book should be on every pool players shelve. It teachs a newbie right from how to pick out a stick to combinations and caroms. It truly is one of the best, if not the best pool instruction book ever written for a begginer.Read full review...
