THis is very good. Dr Dave complements the reading with videos posted in a web site, you can also write to him, and he will answer within hours. great book great help. Perhaps not the best for banking methods, but good.

This book is very detailed. If you want to study the game it is great. If you do not like reading text books, this is not for you. Dave gives a lot of details, some of which help you understand the game, but you do not need to play the game. If you really want to understand the game and want to seriously improve your game and become a high level player buy it, but study it. I am an engineer so I like the analytical approach to pool this book has. Many of the principles are at the web site mentioned in the book where you can watch the videos. There are also proofs if that is your cup of tea and like geometry. If you just want the basics, do not buy this book.
If you want to excel, buy it.

If you plan to buy only one pool book, this is the one you should buy. It covers all of the important principles and has lots of great examples. And the online video demos are great. They help the book come to life. The book is also easy to read; although, it ain't a novel. The book is also a great reference. It's very easy find the info you need.
I highly recommend this book. I think it is the best available!

Many of the information found in this book you can find it in the author's website (enlarge the cover to see the address). For that matter I believe that there's no much reason to buy this book if you can get the info for free. I have to agree that the content is valuable and critical for a player who wants to improve his or her game, but I don't see much difference between the book and the website (probably when the book came out the info was not availabe online, but still for a person today is easier and cheaper to access the website instead). Like I said, the content is pretty good and it definitely has helped me to understand many things about pool. Great info, for sure, just take my advice about the website though. The book is good for quick reference anytime you want.

This book contains excellent principles for pool & billiards. The 30 & 90 degree rules, as well as the effects of follow & draw on these principles is invaluable. There are also some very good tidbits of information regarding position play and shot selection that the average player may not be familiar with.
The reason I only gave this book four stars is because it is written like a college textbook, very dry, and much to "technically" correct to be an interesting read. The majority of what I learned could probably have been summarized in about 25 pages of text & 7 pages of diagrams. Instead, you get 300 or so pages to peruse. Overall, I would recommend this book to pool & billiards players, but be forewarned, you may find yourself dozing off while trying to read it!!
