Pool Hustler books

[Stew boo]

I have just finished reading "Hustler Days" by R.A. Dyer. It told the story of 3 of the greatest pool hustlers, (Wimpy Lassiter, Minnesota Fats, and Jersey Red). I would highly recommend the book and was wondering what other books about pool hustlers are out there?

While I like them all I have recently read Jay Helphert 's Pool Wars and found it to be excellent.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned The "Encyclopedia" of Pool Hustlers by Freddy the Beard Bentivegna. I thought it was a great book.
