willie hoppe's "thirty years of billiards"

[evergruven]

I'd heard of willie's name before, but never really looked him up
stumbled onto this one, and am glad I did-
not only is it entertaining, informative, and well-written, but the cat likes nuzzling it, too!

really is a fine book if you get the chance..what a great player willie must have been

I have, Billiards As It Should Be Played. It's old school with diagrams of the basics of the diamond system. Good eye training.

I have the Dover reprint that you have. Interesting reading, by all means. I DON'T have a first edition. It's Daly's Billiard Book that I have. Sorry.
