Just as long as you don't simply take from my work and simply change wording. I've regretted my failure re the Kohler book and letting the guy go who was caught selling spiral-bound copies but will certainly not let it happen again. I truly appreciate those of you who care about justice and...

Although common practice is to sell at whatever the market will go for, I’m not the one who had charged $400, $500, and even as much as $800 for a book. I’m the one that ended such practice! Other than once every year or so when I lower the price a bit further for Christmas, a friend or someone...

Actually, there was no need for a second edition of the Shots, Moves, & Strategies book (SMS) and so there was but one printing of its only edition. It was the first edition of the Winning One-Pocket book (W1P) that had all the errors you speak of. Though I do currently have a never sold or even...

Got 3 left for special Xmas price on eBay; back to $158+ by Dec 26. Eddie Robin

"And, while I tried to move the 1pocket part of this discussion over to one pocket.org, you kept it alive here." I see it as the other way around but no need for me start reading again all the posts we've made here. If you don't mention me or refer to me here again, nether will I. I'd imagine...

Don't you realize people know about you by now? Some of those on onepocket.org have certainly found out. You know what your doing making posts here while I'm on the other forum sometimes up against several at a time. the tide is finally turning; people are wising up little at a time to the...

They told me you guys moved over to the other thread. I put my first scan on a post over there; you may find it interesting. You brought what I'd put in a post here over on AZBs over to the one-pocket forum and used it to start a thread misrepresenting me throughout that thread. You started to...

Why so rude? If you have a reason just tell me what it is.

What could possibly be you beef with me? That was a fairly hostile statement? You know my name, what's yours? What could possibly be your beef with me? What is it that you disapprove of? Eddie Robin

I've read a number of opinions, beliefs, etc. already. I no longer wish to argue the above claims without someone producing evidence that I'm wrong. Yup, evidence!

You ignore the polls & provide opinions; WHY! Stop with all the talk about how wonderful my books are. Stop with all the talk about what came after 1993 for I'm agreeing that the game was already expanding in popularity then. We are not supposed to be discussing all the things that were great...

You've got it ALMOST right, but no cigar. You've got it ALMOST right, but nooooo cigar. The many events after those of the Jansco's certainly deserve credit but they failed to stop the steady decline of popularity as per the polls-surveys of the billiard magazines. Why don't ya just read my...

Restoring vigor to game when its popularity in decline Of course not; my second W1P book (the new edition) and SMS book came out in 1997 if I remember correctly. Anyway, resurgence to a game can't occur while a game is rapidly gaining in popularity as it was from 1993 to present time. I'll...

Most of the credit for the resurgence should definitely go to the Winning One-Pocket book. I recall how Warren Costanza thanked me after his annual cross country trip explaining how it was the first time so many were willing to play the game. He's still around; just ask him. And if his word...

All Things Can Be Improved! There are various ways to increase the popularity of a game the main one being to increase understanding of the sport in question. People turn away from that which they don't understand. My books on one-pocket increased understanding and the game made a great...

The 526 run was with 5.25" pockets I'd inspected the table upon which Mosconi had made that 526 run back in 1964 and found the corner pockets to be a "hair" under 5.25 inches between the points at the mouth of the corner pockets after being told by several people in that room that nothing had...

Wanted to correct error in my second sentence; I'd meant 5 seconds per ball and not 5 balls per inning!

All Games Deserve A Single & Current World Champ

Believe that game originated in Argentina Wow; your post certainly brought back an old memory of shooting pool in pool room at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. I'd always believed that game with the balls on the diamonds had originated in Argentina and my recall of what the Argentinian that...

When are you going to write another book! Hi Book Collector, I've been working from time-to-time on various pool and billiard instructional books over the years. Don't get to really get into them for it seems my day-to-day struggle for survival (coming up with rent money, etc.) takes up the...
