CUSTOMERS RAVE:
“I have taken several hours of private lessons and this
book covered the same subjects. It is a good refresher and guide
to improving your game.”
“It would be fair to say that I learned more from this
book than any other I have used in over forty years of pool and
3 cushion play. I use this book frequently in conjunction with
teaching students at all levels of ability.”
“As a player of six years, I can honestly say that this
book offers a lot of important information that is left out of
most other books.”
“For anyone looking to take their game to the next level,
Precision Pool is more than just an excellent reading resource.
Of all the publications I have on the subject, this one in particular
is kept near the pool table for use as a reference.”

POOL PLAYER'S EDGE
FROM
BOOKLIST
General pool instruction books are many, and all face the same
challenge: balancing the different needs of beginning and intermediate
players. Too many basics, and better players will feel cheated;
too much esoterica, and novices will be lost. Kanov and Stauch,
of Pool & Billiard Magazine, do a nice job of splitting the
difference here.
In Part 1, "Becoming a Player," they break the game
into "The Essentials" (the physical elements of play);
"Perfecting Your Aim"; "Top-Shelf Shots" (more
accomplished tools that are nonetheless often useful or necessary);
"Mapping the Table" (learning positional strategy);
and "Mastering the Mind Game" (addressing the key mental
aspects of a game where, really, you play yourself). Parts 2 and
3 focus on eight-ball and nine-ball, the country's two most popular
games. Clean layout makes lessons easy to locate, and attractive
diagrams usually make them easy to understand… Keir Graff

CUSTOMERS RAVE:
“The book is filled with great diagrams, as usual, and further
uses some great action photos of real pros to illustrate the concepts
provided in the text. It is a real thinking-man's book and I enjoyed
it thoroughly.”
“I really enjoyed Precision Pool, but I loved The Pool
Player's Edge! The first section gives the reader tools to diagnose
and fix problems in fundamentals, which everybody needs... The
"Quick Fixes" work great to get you back on track. But
the real joy of this book is in the last two sections on 8-ball
and 9-ball. The sections break each game into Phases - Opening
Game, Middle Game and End Game that provide the reader with winning
strategies and key shots to employ those strategies.”

YOU CAN DO IT!
Another
2005 release around which Shari is now appearing in several book
events is You Can Do It!
Once in a while, a project comes along that’s got, “Boy,
I wish that was my idea” written all over it. This is that
book. Conceived of by Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas, a heroine killed
in Flight #93 on 9-11, YCDI features 60 female mentors inspiring
other women to try their hand at everything from knitting a scarf
to beating the boys at pool. Mentors
don’t make one thin dime; proceeds go to Lauren’s
foundation that’s already contributed to a center for abused
women and children, and scholarships for high school senior women.
This is a project that’s empowering women
from coast to coast!
