Fantastic Billiard and Pool Book!

This book is exceptionally good. It's also WAY cheaper than it should be. It easily beats the other billiard books that I looked at. I luckily ran across this book while looking at (and reading!) many, many other books in the local "Large Popular Bookstore", and I'm glad that I chose this one. This is my first billiard book, and probably my last. It starts at the basics and goes through to the advanced topics. The book is...

This book is awesome

Wow! Dr. Dave has given the pool world an amazing resource. "The Illustrated Principles of Pool and Billiards" is the best pool book I have ever seen ... and I have read lots of them. There are illustrations and photos on almost every page and the book is very easy to read. The book also presents some useful systems I have not seen presented anywhere else ... for example, the 30 degree rule. The book website is also great...

Hi. I'm Dr. Dave, the author of "The Illustrated Principles of Pool and Billiards." Thank you for considering my book. I have worked very hard to create the best book possible by doing lots of independent research and by reading countless other books. I've done my best to make the book as easy to read as possible by using many full-color illustrations and by identifying all of the key principles in pool. I have also created...

Excellent pool and billiards resource. Best book available.

"The Illustrated Principles of Pool and Billiards" should be on every pool player's shelf. It is simply the best pool book ever written. It is very thorough, covering all aspects of the game, including advanced techniques. It is also very well illustrated with photos and drawings on every page, and the numerous examples help provide insight. (...) The video demonstrations posted there have helped me improve my game dramatically...
