kid dilicious book

Running the table is a great book. I would assume amazon or barnes and nobles would have it.
I got mine on amazon for pretty cheap. It was a great read.
I think I would try Accu-Stats.
there are tons of online bookstores that carry it. I like the picture of Lil Jon with the toothpick in his mouth. 
BTW, can anyone who has this book answer me this question please?
On page 93-94ish it talks about how Kid and Bristol played the Two Strangers sting. It clear as day talked about how Kid would play low level sets and win against the locals, get to know them a bit, so they would back him when Bristol (the "stranger") walked in. It also says that Kid backed off enough to let Bristol win and then later they would "gleefully get the hell out of town".
Very next paragraph it says that Kid was having none of it, would NEVER dump a game, had a moral set of rules, and wouldn't be able to live with himself if he lied like that.
Makes me wonder which way it was and how much leeway the author had in writing the book.

There was a local article written for Agweek a few years ago that mentions the book and a couple people in it, Rory and Tanya.

The guy in the article who did the painting that hangs in Billiards on Broadway also did the paintings that hang all over at Fargo Billiards.

Ya I see your confusion, but it didnt say Kid and bristol did the two strangers it said that bristol wanted them to. Acculy it says, " Bristol suggested that they depart from the cadence and choreography of their usual hustle and pull a pool sting so time-honored it had it's own name: the two strangers." The rest of that paragraph was the author describing how bristol invisioned it. The next paragraph starts with "Delicious, though, was having none of it."
Although I have no idea why the auther wrote it like that. Hope that clears it up for you.
