Which Phil Capelle Book?

[cuetechasaurus]

Which book is better, 'Play your best pool' or 'Play your best 8ball' for someone who wants to learn to play 8-ball at a high level? I'm a 9-ball player, so you would think that I should get 'play your best 8ball', but at the same time, I heard in PYBP, there is a large section devoted to mechanics, which I am always very interested in experimenting with. Which is the better book to buy? 'Play your best 8ball' is his newest book.

I think "Play Your Best Pool" was better. I read "Play Your Best Pool" first and which you like best may depend upon which one you read first since a lot of the same stuff repeats across all his books.

I haven't read "Play your best pool", however, I have read "Play your best 8-ball" and can highly recommend it.

Well thats good, because I got impatient and ordered 'play your best 8-ball'. It was a pretty good deal, free shipping, and I payed about $14 for the book. After I thought about it, I got the impression that since 'play your best pool' has a huge section devoted to fundamentals, it might be geared more towards beginners. I want to learn to play 8-ball at a high level, so I might as well go with the book that's totally dedicated to it.

Play your best eight ball, for $14, is a steal for anybody who wants to improve their eight ball game.

I'd like to know as well. I've read PYBP and it was geared more for beginners, but still a good read. I'm now working on PYB9B and I'm sure that I'll get some good things out of that one too.
