Hi, I have two, one still in the cellophane, the other used only once or twice. Do you have any thing to trade? Older books are preferred....

JB you have made reasonable arguments for you position up until this post. Comparing a skill that you have to learn to a "skill" that you can buy is nonsense. (we all agree jumping is easier with a jump cue or this thread would have died a couple of days ago) ~Carter

No need to ban jump cues, just ban changing cues during a match!

Yes, almost every shot is a jump shot in the the cue-ball leaves the surface of the table. Next time you are at a table, place a dime directly at the base of the front of the cue-ball and you'll be amazed at how easy it is to clear...

I completely agree - instead of allowing 2, 3 or even more cues, you can only play with 1. The only change would be a tip coming off, broken ferrule, cracked shaft, etc. and then only the shaft could be changed.

No rage, no right, no wrong, just opinion... As I think ALL players should know the rules and use the rules to their full advantage, within the intent and as good sportsmanship allows. And, as long as the rules allow, use a "jump" cue, "break" cue, "masse" cue, and when they come along, a...

That's just my opinion ... ... I also think break cues shouldn't be allowed. I understand that break cues have their advantages, and I use one sometimes. I also have a jump cue (Bunjee), 2 break cues (Keith Josey and Eddie Bishop - local) and a bunch of playing cues a Thomas Wayne is my...

I'm in the ... ... Jump Shot GOOD, Jump Cue BAD camp!

NEVERMIND Would you be able to scan the covers or take hi-res pictures and send them to me? I would very much appreciate it. NEVERMIND In my haste I only noticed Phelan - it is the "Billiards without a Master" that I'm wanting scans of the covers of...

I realize I'm late to the party, but I just hit upon this on a search...

Please send me your list, especially if you have any more 19th or early 20th century books - that is my main interest! Thanks, Carter

Thanks, but that's the first place I looked. If you scroll to the very first scan and to the very last, you will see that it's in a plain cloth binding. I'm looking for pics or scans of the original covers - that wasn't very clear in my original post...

Hi Ron, I only have my reprint of E. White's "A Practical Treatise on the Game of Billiards" from 1807 (that's before the invention of the leather tip, though it is still an interesting read) plus a very few more at: http://www.alibris.com/stores/poolplay/search?query=billiards I am getting...

Hi All, I'm searching for a picture or better yet a scan of "Billiards Without a Master" in its original binding. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it very much! Thanks, Carter

DUH - must have been the drugs kicking in (or, kicking out)! It's the light titaninum 3/8"x10 modified. I'd prefer black with silver rings, etc. like: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a124/FAST_N_LOOSE/SELLING/DSC03263.jpg There's's more than I'm not 100% sure of, though, I've heard things...

I know it's a long-shot, just thought I'd ask...

Hi Mike, Where can I find the "8-Ball Express Rules"? Thanks, Carter

Hi Johnny, First, I'd like to thank Bob for his kind comment on my repring of White. I'd be glad to send you a copy for $45 including shipping. I also have extra copies of the original White(1st), Kentfield(6th), Phelan(1st) and others... Regards, Carter Adams

Hello, Most of you probably do not know me, but I am a lurker here and on RSB and am an occasional poster. Someone on RSB suggested posting my request here as well. I am in the process of developing a billiards bibliography of English language works through the 20th century. If anyone is...
