#10 arrived finally! I was beginning to feel slighted. lol Read a couple anecdotes on players I know and it looks great.
 
I received mine yesterday. I was lucky enough to open the (huge) book to one of the Bensinger's page(s).

"Cut thin to win."

The first thing I saw in your book was you sleeping next to the snooker table.

:)

Thanks Freddy.

Of all my pool books, cues, tables, racks, whatever...

This is, by far, my favorite piece of pool equipment.

Thanks buddy, I can't wait to read this damn thing 18 times in a row.

Barefoot and sleeping on that bench is one of my most treasured photos!
It took a lotta heart to sleep on those benches, the rats that prowled the joint were a foot long.

My mailbox has still not been favored with receipt of this great tome. Maybe today! Getting more and more anxious as I read everyone's positive feedback.
 
I was getting anxious, but #94 showed up yesterday. A few pages in, I've already learned about foot long rodents and sneaking away with money in your "rat-hole" to avoid getting rolled.

This book is the cheese!

Nice job, Beard!

If you haven't received you pre-publication copy yet, I just want to say that you are in for a real treat! I'm about 180 pages into the book and, Freddie, you have outdone yourself. You and George Fels and everyone associated with the project have done a fantastic job! I consider this tome to be on the top of my "must read" list.
Thank you so much!!!
 
Anxiety is over ... #97 arrived today! Freddy, I want to thank you for this pre-pub bonus. I've just been flipping through it so far but will get down to a serious cover to cover, first of many, reading soon!

#6 checking in

Arrived over the weekend at PO Box.

Picked up today.

I opened up to Elvis.

This is going to be very enjoyable.

Fred, thanks for seeing this through. Thanks for writing this stuff down and sharing.



Are you taking advance orders on the hardback?
 
Mine got in yesterday! Very good read, I jump pages to read a couple great players I am familiar with. Good fun reading! :thumbup:

Thanks Freddy!

Not yet, but soon. I have located the right printer, at the right price, that will print the right book (which is the book in large size, hard-cover, 8.5 x 11, something that I had previously thought to be impossible to afford)
It was like a miracle to land on these people. Just hold on for a short while.

Thanks for the info !!!!
 
I finished it yesterday and packed it this morning along with all the rest of my Pool related material. We're moving, again. Again, great, great job, Freddie, by you everyone concerned with the project!
 
I went to the PO yesterday to check out what I got in the way of mail (bills) and what do I find? I found copy numbe 8 of your book. My wife immediately latched on to it. I'll get it back some day...LOL. It shouldn't be too long, she's a fast reader.

Thanks...

I can't give my pal, George Fels anywhere near the credit he deserves for all the help he gave me with the book. George is a true professional and steered me back on course more times than I could count. George edited the book, all 386 pages, the final size, three different times!
