Need a good story for these cold winter nights? Ever shoot pool? Hang out at a pool room? Then you will recognize the characters from this funny, easy to read, fast moving story. If you can't play pool, you can still feel like you're hangin' at the pool hall!
The January `03 Billiard Digest review said it all "...Do It For The Game is a rare, valable thing: a sweet, nostalgic look at hustling pool. This makes the book a rarity- pool is not the bogeyman. Even The Hustler was not so much a homage to hustling as the story of a man's self-destruction. Do It For The Game is just the opposite. It shows pool, seedy side and all, as basically redemptive in nature. The connection is made, and well, between a well played game and a well-lived life...." and it continues "Campbell's 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 it you've met them."
From the back cover: Brian Dwyer was living the good life with a beautiful family, a big house in the suburbs and a nice corporate job. Then, one by one, he lost everything. When he returns to his hometown to bury his father, he visits the pool hall and discovers some long forgotten lessons.
All books are new. Softcover 176 pages. All books will be signed by the author and may be personalized. This is a great gift for the holidays. Check my feedback for comments of people that have bought and read the book.
