Billiards, Revised and Updated: The Official Rules And Records Book

Surprised to find so many shots that prove useful in my games in spite of my playing for many decades.

This lightweight book is great, when you want to know the Official Rules for Pocket Billiards. It also includes Rules of other Billiards games, you've never heard of. I took a friend to play, last night, and got everyone's attention, while playing Bottle Pool.

Good

This is an excellent training guide to improving pocket billiards skill. I have been playing regularly for about 65 years and found very helpful tips to improve my play. Try the "ghost ball" idea to help with difficult ultra cut shots! You will love it.

I recently acquired a pool table for my rec-room. My friends wanted to play games on it that I was not familiar with. This kinda evened the score and reigned in the made-up rules they espoused.

I was surprised to learn how different the official rules are compared those I learned while growing up. Great to have the official rules. The book is quite elaborate with rules of many games and also techniques for play. Highly recommended.

Nice book. Bought 2 of them. Item description does say 2005 version. Which they are. Wish I’d realized that before. Oh well. Not sure what has changed since then. Still plenty of useful info, just be aware it may not be current. You might want to look for the 2021/2022 version.

I thought it was well written, and answered all the questions I had.

The book has information for the beginner. It has all the rules for a number off different pool games. You beginners will learn quite a bit of info about the game.
