I would love to see what shots are in there.

 

[Bob Jewett]

I don't have that and it seems neither does Shamos. Judging from its location and date I doubt that it contains anything beyond
Hood
Byrne
Kimura
Venom
Massey
Margo
Caras
Mosconi
Jopling
Mingaud
Varner
the modern artistic pool competition and some other well known trick shot author I've forgotten.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a rehash of Jopling's proposition bets -- the year would have fit.

That having been said, I'd like to get a copy.

Add to the list above, this video:

Looks like nice, accurate diagrams -- much better than a lot of trick shot books. That's a take I haven't seen before for the railroad shot, but there are many different versions of it.
