Summary: Great survey of post-Color of Money pool in America
Comment: "To play billiards well," quipped Charles Roupell, "is a sign of an ill-spent youth." That image of vice, hustling, and threat to the community used to be a large part of the average American's perception of pool. Then in 1986, The Color of Money came along and revitalized the game and ushered in a new era. It's this era, in all its impressiveness and diversity, that Shamos and Bennett survey.
Shamos is among pool's most accomplished historians, and his knowledge of the game shines brightly in this book. He introduces us to a selection of people who have contributed immensely to the game, takes us on a tour of some of America's classiest and most unique pool and billiard rooms, outlines women's and men's professional pool, and closes with a look at the state of the pool industry.
The life of the book is Bennett's photography. Bennett's lens never fails to bring a sense of animation to the stills and to put us in the moment. Much like buying a better stereo and rediscovering your CDs, Bennett reintroduced me to the image of this game that I've played since childhood.

Summary: Great Photos
Comment: This book is full of great pictures of pool rooms past and present. Lots of room and player info. Very polished publication. Inetersting for those, like myself, interested in the sport and history. Not an instructional book; but definately worth the price and time to enjoy.
