So, the company I work for has sort of changed directions and thought it might be a better idea to have me work from my home and not go into the office. I think, least I pollute the minds of the younger people with opinions and my shockingly cynical attitude. Anyway, I was cleaning some stuff to set up a work area and I found like 20-25 books. So, I'm not kidding, if you haven't ordered a book yet, I have a few more.

I will sign and personalize every copy. Many people that post here that have read the book and enjoyed it.

I've dropped the price to $8 which includes media mail postage (if you want 1st class $10 which includes postage). l. You can either paypal (aaboutpool@aol.com) or send me a pm with your address and you can mail me a check.

I had been selling books in bulk. How about 5 copies for $25 (plus shipping. Will come media mail) or 10 copies for $40 (plus shipping). I can sign each copy if you wish. You can make money on these when you display and sell your cues, in the pool room or give them away like several room owners did.

Thanks
Bob

I bought 5 of em a couple of months before Christmas and had Bob sign them to some of my pool hall buddies. Needless to say, it took care of Christmas presents early at a great price (and my friends were all thrilled)! Good luck with the sale!
 
Poolcue Master- thanks, your book will be in the mail tomorrow. Media mail takes about a week.

nodope- glad you like the the books. Hope you like the story as well!

thanks guys

In January 2003 Billiard Digest did a review on this book. In case you missed it here are some of the things that they said:

..."Do It For The Game" is a rare, valuable thing: a sweet, nostalgic look at hustling pool. This makes the book a rarity- pool is not the bogeyman...

...With its sterling ear for dialogue and the rhythms of the poolroom, this book will surely leave bar- and road-players nodding their heads and smiling....

... ability as a storyteller is only outstripped by his talent at painting vivid characters. You can picture the people so clearly in your mind that you may feel as if you've met them.

There's more but you get the point....
