The Everything Pool & and Billiards Book by Amy Wall, Francine Crimi (2003, Paperback)

Lots of useful information for a beginning pool player or even someone who is an intermediate. I own an "IDIOT'S guide to Pool and Billiards" and it's nothing to compare to this book. The Everything edition is much more easier to read and the illustrations makes learning fun. I would recommend this to any pool enthusiast. Excellent book to have around.

this book is good for beginers and those that have a desire to take their game to another level. Chapter after chapter there is a progression that takes you through the game from rules to break shots to basic instruction.

I bought this book to help my game as this is my first year of playing in a league, with some sporatic playing in the past. So far, I think it helps. The book is surely for the beginner or next level up. My husband, who plays in a lot of tournaments, has picked up a couple of tips to improve himself. If you are within the beginning stages of playing, I think this is a very good book to guide you through to the next level.
