The Straight Pool Bible:
Personal Instruction from a World Champion Arthur "Babe" Cranfield and Laurence S. Moy

FROM THE PUBLISHER
Straight pool, according to the Billiards Congress of America, "is generally considered to be the game that provides the greatest all-around test of complete pocket-billiards playing skill, requiring great concentration, accuracy, shot-making, defense, patience, and knowledge." In The Straight Pool Bible, legend Babe Cranfield, one of only thirty-eight inductees to the Billiards Congress of America Hall of Fame, shares a lifetime's worth of lessons. From minimizing cue ball movement and setting up the best possible break shot to playing safety and handling the pressure of competition, The Straight Pool Bible imparts the skills necessary for mastering pool's most demanding game. (51/2 X 81/4, 192 pages, diagrams)

SYNOPSIS
According to the Billiards Congress of America, straight pool is generally considered to be "the game that provides the greatest all-around test of complete pocket-billiard playing skill." In The Straight Pool Bible, Cranfield teaches the tips and tactics he's cultivated over decades of experience: how to minimize cue ball movement, setting up the best possible break shot, knowing when to play safety, and how to handle the pressure of competition.
This is essential reading for anyone who intends to be a "serious" pool player.
