Yes, it would take me 3 times as long if I didnt go alphabetically. Beard

My hard cover book order ("Encyclopedia" of Pool Hustlers) came in today. Two weeks early! I will start sending them out tomorrow. Alphabetically is the fastest way I can do it, so bear with me because I have a lot of books to mail and I am a one-man company. Beard

I ordered the first batch of hard cover Encyclopedia of Pool Husters today, 919 (finally).They promised delivery to me on Oct 11th. Will send out to the pre pub people immediately after that. Pre pub offer is officially over. I will still number the copies up until #200 but the price is now...

I will be able to order hard covers Wednesday 918. That will be the last day for the $50 pre pub offer. (The numbers now run over 150-200) Contact me PM or email, bankingwiththebeard@comcast.net Beard

Charlie endorsed plenty of Rambow cues. There has to be many people out there who have a Rambow with his inscriptions on it. They are much more valuable by the way. Charlie played short stop speed, pool and 3 cushion and was tough to beat. Beard

Charlie had some of the best handwriting in the country. He was the official hand-written scorekeeper of the PGA tour. I never heard of anyone else writing on Rambow's cues besides Rambow himself. It aint easy to write in wood like that. George Fels might have a better memory of Charlies...

Baby girl, it's a cinch! Freddy the Beard

Looks good, and the calligrapher was Charles Kimmel. Rambow's own signature was banal. All the fancy signatures were done by Kimmel. Beard

All the numbers 1 to 150 are gone. I will still leave the $50 offer open until Sept 17th when I put in my order. What the hell, I guess I will still number them above 150 now until then. Again, thanks to all, Beard

Thanks Mahna, tell 'em where you got it. Beard

Is Fatboy ok? He was having some physical problems and I was supposed to hear from him and he hasnt yet responded. Just wondering. Beard

The poem was written by Dennis Bondarenok from Detroit. It has become a yearly ritual at the Onepocket Hall of Fame Dinner. My thread informing all those that took my pre pub offer for my book, telling those people that we will go to press for the hard cover Sept 17th was moved to the Wanted...

Well, I finally dotted all the i’s and crossed all the t’s, did all the minute little edits and additions, and straightened everything out with the printer/publisher. They told me they will be able to publish my hard cover books in 2 weeks, and I can put in orders at that time. The pre-pub...

Will seriously try to remember, as I only have to keep my brain together for one day.:) See you tomorrow (hopefully). Beard

Marty Stanovich (the Fat Man) used to wait until a Golf tournament was over and then bust out the winner. (Prize funds in those days were pitiful, so he seldom competed in the tournaments.). I heard he could rob every golfer in the world except some player from Wisconsin (forgot who). I never...

As I went over in my book, it is much more effective if the person "catching" the dump is not in on it. Plus there is one less person in on the swindle who can rat you out later. Beard

ESPN is about to do a story they got from an old time golfer in his 80's. He has decided to come clean on the Bobby Riggs/Billie Jean King match. He said Riggs was in deep with gambling debts and "threw" the match to get even. The people who have the Beard's Encyclopedia of Pool Hustlers...
