Summary: Another ho-hum basic pool book
Review: Like many books of this sort, it is out of print, and for a good reason: It's been supplanted by much more in-depth works, such as Play Your Best Pool and Byrne's Standard Book of Pool. That said, there's certainly nothing wrong with this book. It covers the key basics, and gives some excellent, time-tested practice drills to hone skills. The whole second half of the book is dedicated to trick shots, which are entertaining of course. (Me, I tend to look for applicable, game-improving information in my pool books, so this one was a little disappointing. Others with a real penchant for trick shots will probably find it more interesting.)
