From Rags to Rifleman

gunzby · Dec 6, 2015

I thought there was some talk about doing a limited edition run. Every so often I'll see a thread asking about the book and to be honest every so often I'll try to find a copy of the book that's not a crazy price, but to no avail. I think the lowest I found just now was $200 and that is a no go.

I was wondering if anyone had one for sale, or even if I could rent it. Considering my previous reads I'd probably have it read and back to you in a week.

here you go under $200

opps, thought I included pictures. I will bump the add I had in the wanted for sale section. My wife put this away and I lost it for years.

I finally got a hold of one and it was impossible for me to read with the tiny print and long paragraphs. Gave it back in a day and i waited years!

This adds to my surprise at the cost of the book; I like Buddy Hall's pool game but I will never buy the book at THAT price.....I have lots of pool books, but that is one I will pass on....unless I see it at a library.

I actually read the whole book although it took a while. It's pretty good but you will have to rest your eyes every so often. I've been amazed at the pricing too, about 200 is as low as it gets.

Next one out will be the "Art Of The DUMP. Johnnyt

That is why I priced mine at gone in the for sale section. I just bumped it today. It is pretty interesting but everyone is right on the small print. The way to read it is plan to read about 20 pages at a time and take it slow.

If you want to read about action and who was who in the pecking order of great money players in the 70s thru the 90s, this book gives all the others the Orange Crush!

I wouldn't classify that dump as "artful".

It looks to me as though different type set was used for the different signatures. It's not only small, it looks odd every 32 pages or so.

Tennesseejoe · Dec 7, 2015

This book has enough information that it should have been two volumes.

phil dade · Dec 7, 2015

Everyone is correct! So why is mine still for sale? Too cheap

My price I mean:thumbup:
GONE

Yeah- There was definitely something odd going on there-One type was less difficult to read than the other but not by much.

Tuff read, isn't it?

Yeah, I had to rest every so often to make it. It's pretty good but a labor.

yep

You guys beat me to it; there was no art there.....the only people who didn't see the obvious were people who don't play pool, or those who don't want to see it........

GaryB · Dec 7, 2015

Is that the one some say "ruined the last shot that pool had?"

Someone came through with a loaner. You know who you are and I do really appreciate it.
