What a week. I received Byrne's new book, Complete Book of Pool of Pool Shots - 350 Moves Every Player Should Know.
It's a typical Byrne offering, with more emphasis on moves/patterns rather than shooting instructional. Much of the shots are in his other book(s). As with his others, this is a must-have in any pool players library.
An interesting note of coincidence, I must point out a blatant error in this book. There is a discussion of Van Gogh's "The Night Café" as well as Gauguin's "In the Café in Arles." For those who care, the works are of the same café. Anyway, in case anyone gets too perplexed, the captions in Byrne's book are mislabeled and are reversed.
I also got Capelle's Play Your Best Pool, finally. I wanted to get the free shipping from Amazon. You know, it costs a lot to save money.
While I was at it, I went ahead and got the latest version of Byrne's Standard Book. I've had the 1st Ed. forever, and it is completely worn out and tattered. For $7.98, I couldn't pass it up. This new version is the 3rd Ed. I think. Pretty much the same as the 2nd edition.
And to top it off this week, I just received the new Mueller's Catalog. For those who anxiously await what new front cover Mueller's has for the year, I'm sad to report that this year's cover is similar to one they used just a few years ago. Oh well.
Anyway, the multi-dot Aramith cueball seen on the TV table at the U.S. 9-ball Open is available through them. I believe I need to get me one of them.
