Here's an interesting (For Hitchcock fans) paperback cover I ran across. There seems to be no pool story inside, though.

Alfred Hitchcock shooting pool?
- Thread starter Bob Jewett
- Start date
That might be the scariest Hitchcock image I've seen!
Wow....you see Alfred digging into that cloth? 
A pendulum stroke and a long bridge is a bad combination.
Back in the days of black and white TVs...and cars as big as ocean liners...
...I remember Alfred opening his show with the news he had bought a European sports car..
..."However" he said "I neglected to buy one for the other foot."

Good evening friends

Tonight we shall explore the twisted mind of a psychopathic pool player by the name of Leonard Stark. Mr. Stark is a hard working cab driver by day, and a hustler turned murderer, by night.
But, first......a word from our sponsor.
That would make a nice poster.
His mistake was to choke up on the cue.Wow....you see Alfred digging into that cloth?

...
I've asked Random House about the possibility of that. Unfortunately the artwork was made over 40 years ago.
Scott, what you know is not written in stone....it MAY be true for you.
I use a shortish bridge and the pendulum for anything below center....
...except when I'm reaching on a shot.
I know many players that are similar.
For ME, the tip goes down too soon on a long bridge...
...gotta drop the elbow a bit.
I tend to hold the cue long....I had Mike Johnson make me a cue with the linen going
almost to the butt plate...got the idea off Buddy Hall.
...so I don't have the problem of holding the cue short except for finesse shots.
I just went and tried drawing with a long bridge again....
...my elbow drops a bit every time.
And when I was an active player, I could draw....not Nevel's ability....
...but a lot more than most players.
A.F. was a hacker...... SPF and pool school would have prevented the torn cloth

Pt, our friend Scott had his ass handed to him in another thread and is a bit piqued.
I agree with you. A pendulum stoke in combination with a long bridge is inviting disaster.

Scott Lee has done more good for pool than a lot of pros....
...but it doesn't mean I agree with everything he says.
