I am starting a promo to do a special pre-publication event for my upcoming book, The Encyclopedia of Pool Hustlers. The first prepaid orders to come in will get numbered copies from 1 to 100, and autographed of course. The publishing date is from one to two months away, more likely two. The order I collect the money will determine the number from 1 to 100. Someone from Onepocket.org has already locked up #1. Up to this point I haven't asked for anything from anyone yet so there is no # 2 at the moment. The tentative price is going to probably be $49.95. That is not locked in because the book is going to cost pretty good to publish, hard cover, large size, 350-400+ glossy pages, hundreds of photos, etc. But to raise some interest and some money the special pre-pub price is going to be $49.95 including shipping. As the payments come in I will assign the numbers in that order and notify the buyer as to his number.

All orders will receive a bonus DVD, the OnePocket Hall of Fame Dinner for 2011 or the BCA Hall of Fame Dinner for 2011. Your choice.

Payments can be made to my PayPal acct under my email address, bankingwiththebeard@comcast.net or my home address is

Hustled out of dinner by a hustler about a publication promotion of hustling! Lol!
I'm sure it was a typo but it cracked me up :)
 
Fred,

PM and monies have already been sent. Thanks for the opportunity for the advance order!!
 
Can I have #10? I have #10 for Helfert's book and I'd find it satisfyingly symmetrical! Payment sent.
Thanks,
Steve

Freddy, what will be in the book? Will it be short stories about the players experiences, or just some information about the players.

The numbers go out as the orders come in. No favoritism period. Plus if anyone knows anything about human nature and friends, you know that they are going to be the last ones to buy anything from you.:smile:

A little of everything. My personal experiences, stories I know, stories I heard, their accomplishments, gossip, secrets, strengths and weaknesses -- including mine.

I was surprised to see that 40 minutes had gone by before I responded to your offer when there were a slew of people saying they wanted to purchase your book in your original thread

Thanks Harold. Two people got on before you, so you have the#3 and 30 more followed you, so the number #34 is the number available at the moment.

My thanks to everybody.
