Danny D's book The Road player.

this book is increadable! There isnt enough positive things to say about it. It not only gives you a look into the past of pool and its legends, it keeps you interested the entire way through...i would recommend this book for anyone who loves pool.

He had a book on a CD out, (you had to read it on the computer, not a talking book) called "You bet your life" Is that the same one you are talking about? I didn't know it was in print. Either way, not bad if you are a pool player or know Danny but would not keep the interest of the average person. It ultimately paints him as more of a tragic figure.

The book he has out is called road player I think. I tried to order it this month from accu-stats, it is in their catalog, but they said there was a problem at the printer. They are expecting it very soon. I will check back next month when I call for the video of the month club. If you guys aren't signed up for that you are missing out. Accu-stats is great to deal with.
I read the whole book in my flight back from Louisville. 6 hours. It is an easy read with some interesting stories. However it doesnt go deep into the game and psychology that surrounds it. It basically is I was a good athlete. I beat up this guy. I won this match. I beat up this guy. I was broke. I made a great score and I beat up this other guy.
One wishes Danny could have told a more in depth story. I think he has it in him. He just needs help from a experienced writer.

A friend of mine bought a copy of the book for me while at the DCC. I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it.
