The player who owns this book will never be bored—he will al-ways find something new to experiment with and practice on." —Tom Kollins, 1978 Snooker Player of the Year and Founder of the School for Straight Pool ít A tremendous work. It far surpasses anything else on the markét, and should belong in evéry billiard player's library." —A1 Gilbert, Seven-Time U.S. Billiards Champion
