No bookstores yet, Jake. But here is the latest commercial: I haven’t put the books out to the general public yet, but what is available now are a limited supply of 8.5 x 11 proof, soft color- cover copies, 300 plus pages. The proofs are the same exact thing I sent out to the 100...

Start out looking for guys you know and then start looking at everybody. When I was hustling, there was a completely different attitude in pool rooms then. People had 10 times more gamble. The more you won the more someone would want to take you down. Much more honor and ego then. Plenty of...

Did I know them well? I played them both many, many times. Beard

Need more info. But I do know Beaver and Weaver. Beard

I had jillions of pages of notes. I will try and make the hard cover out to Darrell. You came with some old memories, with Billy Williams and Crying Eddie. Beard

You are dead right again. That's twice! He was an expert with the "Jar." Beard

You are dead right. That's once. Beard

I can't give my pal, George Fels anywhere near the credit he deserves for all the help he gave me with the book. George is a true professional and steered me back on course more times than I could count. George edited the book, all 386 pages, the final size, three different times! Beard

Not yet, but soon. I have located the right printer, at the right price, that will print the right book (which is the book in large size, hard-cover, 8.5 x 11, something that I had previously thought to be impossible to afford) It was like a miracle to land on these people. Just hold on for a...

My home room, Red Shoes in Chicago, has undergone a total refitting and rehab. John Lanvin and assoc. have redone the room completely. Every table recovered and refitted. Brand new rug, everything painted and puckered up, including the toilets. Good job, John. Just in time for next...

Barefoot and sleeping on that bench is one of my most treasured photos! It took a lotta heart to sleep on those benches, the rats that prowled the joint were a foot long. Beard

Thank you, Alf. That was a great duke. Beard

Pretty much the same, except the proofs are larger size. They are just previews that the printer sends out for you to check over. Beard

Yes, your book is on the way. Thanks, Beard

I havent put the books out to the general public yet, but what is available now are a limited supply of 8.5 x 11 proof soft-cover copies, 386 pages. The proofs are pretty much the same exact thing I sent out to the 100 pre-pubs except the proofs are larger size. A proof is a sample issue of...

Actually, I havent offered the book for sale yet on my sites or stores. I still havent decided on a size or cover format. Beard

For the record the guy Sailor played was Don Tozer from Decatur, IL., not Toza. And Sailor studied under Joe Diehl with and "i" from Rockford, and the famous poolroom in Philly was Allinger's, not Allenger's. Just trying to help. Beard

Lee usually stays with me when he is in Chicago. I like him very much and I dont doubt his integrity. If I am holding I would put him into action anytime. We all do dumb things. You could rent Yankee stadium with the money I have blown because I was foolishly enhanced. Beard
