Ok so I own the 3rd edition BB of Pool Cues only. I am wondering if it is worth picking up the 1st & 2nd? Do those editions show different cues by the makers or are they all the same with just new pricing?

I have #2 and #3. The 3rd edition is an updated edition of #2 with better photos and more info. But it has everything that the 2nd and 1st edition has.
 
they are fun to read, if you can find them cheap buy them. I never have but I have read them a zillion times. 2 is much more advanced than 1. The reality of the situation is Brad needs too write a 4th one, it was needed 2 years ago. But he is on other projects- So i still recommend it to everyone because the numbers might not be right but the content is great.


If I had the time I would help him with #4, we have discussed it, he posts here daily. I have became the best of friends with Brad over the years. There will be another one someday, had he published a new one 2 years ago it would be history now with the economy and new cue makers who popped up in the last 2 years. But there will be another one for sure. Brad is very smart and busy but loves pool, so even though its not the best use of his time he will get it done. One suggestion I gave him was to find a group of guys and assign them to cue makers they know and get to work and tie it all together just before press, it would be a 2 volume book now. I'd love to help when I have time
