I read somewhere that it’s believed he’s lifting his foot in that picture to let the house mouse go by. Either that or it’s a second before the little guy got shmooshed. Always great to see our local Chicago celeb Angel contribute to our forum ! ❤️

Best pool book I know of out of the 50+ I own. I bought the original HB edition and I've probably read it about half a dozen times already.

What exactly does the new "Deluxe" edition include that the original one doesn't have? Any new player entries? How much does it cost? And where can you get a copy?
