I was surfing amazon.com and looking at books on billiards and number 21 was this : Hustler days : Minnesota Fats,Wimpy Lassiter, Jersey Red and Americas great age of pool.
Scheduled to be released in Nov 2003. Written by R.A. Dyer
Anyone know anything about this ? Sounds interesting to say the least.

With the mention of televised matches it made me wonder -- is there old footage available from some of those tourneys?
