The book is divided into two sections of which one is on pool techniques and the other is on pool tricks. I read the first half, since I was not interested in trick shots. The author has a lot of experience and knowledge, which is helpful. He covers the basics and some more advanced topics such as bank shots, jump shots, and combination shots. The section on spin shots is helpful. He covers the equipment, stance, and rules. I liked the section on strategy. This is a good book on pool. ( )
