Hello all,

I would like to ask you about the book DPK has written about cue building. I am in the market for one and I have a copy of a copy available but I would like to know whether I should move on it or not. I should tell you that it is not too cheap either.

I would love to read the book but I also want to know if there are any originals out there, how readily are these available - beyond the fact that these are scarce.

I would love to read it and I also have some money set aside for these kinds of purchases but I would love to hear your opinions if I am about to make the right move or not.

Thank you - and should you have one for sale, please let me know.
 
I'd love to read this, I'd be happy with a cheap copy of a copy of a copy...
:p
 
Thank you all for the PMs and replies, I'll go and reply now!

As for the cheap copy of a copy... I do not want to tell the price as Mr. Dieckman has not listed here, but I believe that I can tell you that its price is a three digit number...
 
I thought Diekman had the original for sale, you mean he's selling copies at a 3-digit figure? I'd be willing to go like a dime a page for a copy, which would make a nice reasonable profit for someone, but 3 digits for a xerox copy?? But then Diekman is a unique individual with a unique idea of value...

what cue building books do you guys recommend. im interested in reading a cue making book just to increase my knowledge of cues and have no intention of trying to build.
 
Are you talking about David Kersenbrock's manual?
I have it in pdf format.
Its pretty rough and hard to understand in places, but a good read just the same.
 
Kiesenbrooks manuscript

I was always told that there never was book published. Most that i know that have it paid in excess $300 or better and it's nothing more than manuscript.

If you'd really want to get the answers ask Kirsenbrock himself, he works with Ed Young.

I guess i should have paid more attention to my spelling in the heading lol

Thank you for your thoughts, I really appreciate it.

As for a good book to increase your knowledge, I would highly recommend you the two booklets of Burton Spain - with one being rather like a diary and that has less to do with cue making - while the other volume is a great read and maybe it would show you things you might not have known about full splice cues - I know it has shown me many interesting things.

All in all, it is an awesome read from my favourite cue and blank builder. You may want to check out my Burton Spain photos thread, that contains some interesting materials and facts.

Blue Hog ridr, Is your David Kersenbrock's manual in PDF Format around 90pages?

Because the Original Manual itself is around 194+ pages
