Wow. Thank you. I have read about these cue makers, but I never ran into their cues "in the world". I know there was a New York connection. Were they distributed beyond Florida and New York?

This ship has sailed, and personal freedom took a bad ass whipping. The person owning the building/running the show should be able to set the rules. Anyone who does not like the call should not go.

Simply my opinion, for whatever that is worth: Develop a thicker skin, and you will be much happier here. Never beat a dead horse. All in all, this is a good group. But, you really need to observe and appreciate the fundamental nature of this place before complaining. If you would not do it...

@ todywayne, @ cuebuddy (someone tell me how to create a "link", please).\ This is very interesting, but I know so little. I did not know that anyone, beyond Brunswick, labeled their cues using decals. Who are the others? Pictures? Thanks!

Nice collection. I still hope I would never be forced to choose among them. LuckiIy, I was not forced to want and pine for mine for years. One morning, it was just there, next to a WHP, on an estate sale table. I could have never endured the process of design and then the wait. Again, yours...

Damn. Look at the head on that boy, he knows how to read . . . and interpret . . . and I was always told you northerners couldn't hold a candle to us. But, if I had been made to tell the truth, I would have been compelled to place myself at the head of the list. Did I not say Justnum was my...

So jealous. Even though I've got this. Don't I deserve it all? LOL. If forced at gunpoint to decide between having yours or mine, I would have to say, "Just Shoot Me".

Certain of you were surely referred to on a regular basis. Such a rich source could not be ignored.

I called USM's library. I found a very helpful research librarian, but in the end I do not know which of us was more confused. She ultimately identified Hoppe, "Billiards As It Should Be Played" with a 1941 publication date which could be what I ran into. However, the size does not fit my...

Could have been '50s -- clothing in photos was dated. I want to remember two books and two different authors. Could have been a single book. I'm talking 50 years ago. Hardbound, expensive/quality stock/finish, well printed -- old academic quality, if that says anything. Not so much A, B, C...

Review the original thread.

Ultimately, the only thing to be reaped from a sale will be regret.

Spring and Fall to a young child Márgarét, áre you gríeving Over Goldengrove unleaving? Leáves like the things of man, you With your fresh thoughts care for, can you? Ah! ás the heart grows older It will come to such sights colder By and by, nor spare a sigh Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal...

I will never forget the '30s or 40's books I found in my college library, but I can't remember who wrote them or what they said -- some old, bald men in coats and ties. More importantly, I can't remember what it was exactly that I learned. What I do know is that they caused me to take my game...

Happy Birthday! And many thanks for making AZB happen.

Is it any good or not? "Nothing amazing" says one thing, but the fact that publication was pursued by third parties implies another. There cannot be much money at stake, but the family must have thought they had a goldmine. Most folks would be happy just to get it published. Otherwise, it is...

Justnum was a teacher. He was motivated to force people to think. It sometimes takes a shove to get someone moving. This seems to have held true as much on these pages as it did in his classroom. I would have liked to have sat in on some of his classes. One big lesson he has taught here...

Should a link to this thread be added to the Condolences at Monroe's Linked In announcement?

This hurts. I have to go think about it. This guy had real heart, and he deeply loved our game. Was he out there sometimes? Most every really smart person is -- they just have to feel secure enough to let it go. Justnum obviously met both marks. We, and many others, have just lost someone...

This world has gone nuts. I pull out cash, and the cashiers, especially if younger, look at me like I have three eyes. Back in the day, folks detested plastic and very much preferred cash. Hundred dollar bills made the world go round. Can someone explain?
