Advanced Techniques in Pool and Billiards

Byrne’s Advanced Technique isn’t only about advanced tecnique, despite the title. It’s also about why the game is so fase nating, why its tournaments are so entertaining, and why: characters are so colorful. Parts of the book even your gran, mother might like.
My career as a billiard journalist started in 1963 when I Newby, a billiard room owner in Philadelphia, started mailing (publishing seems too grand a term) a small newspaper on game.
