    Your Favorite Pool/Billiards Literature

    Robert Byrne's biography "McGoorty" is a classic. Not sure if it's available on Kindle, but get it paperback if you have to - you won't be disappointed, I promise! It's raw, uncouth, and really gives you a picture of life in the forties.

    Custom Anniversary from Mark Gregory

    Ahhh... Feels like having a classic car parked in my game room. That Mark is the ascended master of table mechanics already goes without saying. But what everyone may NOT know is that Mark's customer service is friggin' unreal. Never called him and had him not pick up. Not once. Over the...
