Top Ten Pool/Billiards Instructional Books
I learned to play pool back in the 1960's primarily by studying Mosconi's little red book, Mosconi On Pocket Billiards. Lucky for me, old Teasdale picked up a few copies during his travels and made them available to his customers. Unfortunately, it was the only book I came across during my developing years. Nowadays, there are scores of books professing to teach readers the art of shooting pool. Following are the ten most popular pool/billiards instructional books. Point your cursor at the book's title for ratings, plus new and used prices.

Great choices Ace! These are sure to help any pool players game.
I've actually read the 5th suggestion from you, Play Your Best Pool: Secrets To Winning 8-Ball and 9-Ball, that is the only book i've ever read about pool and it made quite an impact on me. my pool skills still suck but they are better than at the start :)
Capelle's book just might be my favorite, too, along with the Mosconi book which has sentimental meaning to me. BTW, the books aren't listed in order of my preference - the order is based on sales.
