Pool Instruction tips posted online from my book

[christopheradam]

I have been working on a pool book off and on for a while now. I have taken tips directly from my book and posted them on my Web site
http://www.christopheradams.com/PoolInstruction.htm
I would like any comments or suggestions about the tips that I have posted on my web site. I would appreciate tips or short articles that anyone would like to contribute to the book.

Just post them here or email them to me. Please include Name (at least first name) and location(at least state) and persmission to include in book so I can give credit for the tips in my book. Don't read anything word for word from a book or post anything that is copyrighted material(Just from your brain). Tips you post may be phrased differently in my own words to
stay away from copyright infringements(in case someone does read word for word from a book) so keep this in mind before postings or pm/emailing me tips. email:chrismichaeladams@yahoo.com

Question to people who have written a book. BlackJack comes to mind as someone who may be able to answer this. In doing research for a book, If I find something in a book I would like to include in my book, can I reference it in foot notes or a bibliography. Example: 9ball rules, or a paragraph grip or stance. Do I have to get permission from the author of the book. I know in college I could write a paper and take things word for word from a book and just include a bibliography.

If you are going to write a book, make it orginal. Also, educate yourself on copyright law. If you are collecting articles from the internet, GET PERMISSION to post the material on your site prior to putting them on your web site. Also, if you are merely collecting articles, it is not a book, it is just a scrapbook. Obtaining permission to distribute or sell the material would be a nightmare.

On my site, it is a simple site, but all of the information is mine. I conduct my own research, and if needed, I will provide a bibliography reference if I quote a study, or another author. I would never stick someone else's work in my book. The point of writing a book is that - you write it. Half of the work involved is creating something original. There is a lot of research, study, and further education involved, but it is all worth it.

My basic advice is that unless you have original material, don't bother. I have found many websites that have switched a few words in my articles and credited themselves as the author. Ask any webmaster, I usally provide my articles and book excerpts to you as long as I am credited, and a reciprocal link to my website is provided. If I catch someone using my stuff without permission, I usually send them an e-mail asking them to remove it. All of my stuff is copyrighted, some of my material is owned by a publishing company and I do not have the authority to sell or distribute it without their permission. That is why I am currently in the process of republishing a lot of my older material. Get with me privately (blkjackds12@yahoo.com) and I can give you more advice regarding this.
