I'd have to go with the one that started me off when I was learning to play, Byrnes Standard Book of Pool and Billiards.

I thought Naked Lunch, by william s. Burroughs, was pretty complete.

 

[Bank it]

The Science Of Pocket Billiards by Jack Koehler. Also Upscale 9 Ball by Jack Koehler.

The Science Of Pocket Billiards by Jack Koehler. Also Upscale 9 Ball by Jack Koehler.

Jack did the ground work, didn't he, with all those tests on all those gadgets?

Great books. Byrne's, too.

Play Great Pool by Mark Wilson and Don Wardell is the best book in my collection by far.

I've had many but the one I think has had the most influence on me is The 99 Critical Shots by Ray Martin. :thumbup:

I like ONE POCKET "A game of Controlled aggression" by Tom Wirth. Great book, if your into one pocket.

Do DR. Daves DVDs count even though its not a book? Its still instructional material.

Must have. Sure there are other good ones but this is the A-Z guide. Paired with Jerry Briesath's DVD set (which should be mandatory for first time players) you can't go wrong.

Said the man who has trouble stringing two balls together lol.
