"Road Player; The Danny Diliberto Story"
|
|
|
This new book is a lifetime of stories from the vibrant memory of Danny Diliberto, one of Accu-Stat Video's most popular
commentators. Beginning with the Hustler's Tournaments in Johnston City, Diliberto was one of the fabled road players. He
excelled in four sports: baseball, bowling, boxing, and pool. Boxing was his first love, but his own hands could not stand
the power of his blows. Pool gave him greatest fame and that's what this book is about. Any devotee of the game will be fascinated
with this look into the immediate past of the game. From Las Vegas to Hollywood to the smallest towns on the most distant
highways, this is the life of the roadman. A gambler's tale in his own words. A great book!

"A Pool Player's Journey"
|
|
|
The author states frequently that this is not a normal instructional billiards book. It is more of a self-help or more
accurately, a self-awareness book. This book has no diagrams or fancy shot illustrations; instead, it is chock-full of little
zen-like nuggets such as this: The pool table is now the place where universal truth presents itself. In this presence, my
true self can come forward and be recognized, not by my social peers, but by embracing the quality of endless and timeless
truth, I see myself. As such, the pool table is a place of honor. It requires total honesty within its sanctioned domain.
Release the winner within yourself! Dale Jake "the Rake" Brandt will show you how.

"You Might Be A "D" Player If..."
|
|
|
This is a very humorous book that outlines 101 classic moves that all pool players can appreciate. A D Player is described
in this book as: an act, way, or style of proceeding in an indiscreet, tactless manner as it pertains to playing and/or wacthing
pool/billiards. The author offers this caveat: The term "D" Player refers to a player's behavior at or around the table and
not to their playing ability. It was created in fun and is not intended to shame, offend, or embarrass anyone.
