Pool is great fun, whether played at a bar, a campus recreation hall, or at home in the basement den. But it is also a game of skill, and playing it well requires knowledge and intensive practice. This book provides both, presenting detailed color illustrations and diagrams that show every aspect of the game, with 25 specific exercises concentrating on improving fundamental skills, and 40 additional exercises for game practice that show how to put those skills into play. Better yet, this book can be opened to a specific lesson, then stood up on its specially designed cover that unfolds to become a stand.
