It's fun, informative and useful. I have several Byrne books and videos and I review them once in a while. I hesitated buying this in fear it was merely a revamping of old material. I found it used...and bought it anyway; I was so wrong, it's totally new and fresh and a great addition to my library. Byrne comes thru once again and shows why he's been inducted into the BCA hall of Fame.

This book has something for everyone. great book to have in your collection Really nice section on the books of the game. Loved the chapter on games i never heard of. Well illustrated like all Bob Burns books

Highly entertaining, and informative to boot, with plenty of tips you can use in your game. Anyone who already has Byrne's Standard Book of Pool and Byrne's Advanced should also get this, and his Treasury of Trick Shots book, as all four volumes regularly refer to (useful) information in each other. While this is MOSTLY a fun book about colorful characters, billiards history, tricks shots, and amusing stories, your casual, league and even tournament player can learn a few good pointers from the materials herein.

Well done. Fun to read. Excellent player profiles and insights.
