　　Robert Byrne is the author of seven novels, five collecti***

of humorous quotati***, seven books on billiards, two anthologies,

and an expose of frauds in the li***ry world. One of his novels,

Thrill, was made into NBC’s Monday Night Movie, which aired for the

first time on May 20, 1996. Four of his novels were selecti*** of

Reader’s Digest Condensed Books and published in many languages.

His style is widely praised for its clarity and wit. Byrne’s

Standard Book of Pool and Billiards, published in 1978 and expanded

in 1998, has sold over 400,000 copies. In the world of pool and

billiards, his books, hundreds of instructional magazine articles,

six videotapes (s*** on sound stages in Burbank and Hollywood,

California), have established him as the preeminent teacher and

commentator. As a player, he has won tournaments in almost every

form of the game. He finished third in the National Professional

Three-Cushion Champi***hip in 1977 held in North Hollywood. In

1999, he won both the National Amateur and the National Senior

billiard tournaments. His contributi*** to billiards and pool were

recognized when he was awarded the greatest honor in the sport:

induction into the Billiard Congress of America’s Hall of Fame. The

honor, for Meritorious Service, was bestowed on July 21, 2001, at

the Las Vegas Hilton at a banquet closing the annual world billiard

trade show. He was inducted with many-times world billiard champion

Raymond Ceulemans of Belgium. Byrne was born and raised in Dubuque,

Iowa, spent forty years in the San Francisco Bay Area, and returned

to Dubuque in 1996, where he now lives with his wife Cindy, a

painter and graphic artist. After graduating with a civil

engineering degree from the University of Colorado in 1954, he

edited a trade journal in the heavy c***truction industry. He

became a full-time writer in 1977.

　　In the world of cue sticks and side pockets, this is the

gospel, the 1998 revised, standard version of the 1978 bible. A

champion player, indefatigable writer, and inexhaustible promoter

of his sport, Byrne racks his book into two halves, the first a

primer on pool, the second on three-cushion billiards. Beginning

with the fundamentals, he goes on to run the table with lots of

readable advice and detailed diagrams for how to play individual

s***s, including trick s***s, strategies for eight- and nine-ball,

and rules for the major pool games. Then it's on to billiards,

where he banks from the fundamentals to the art of s*** *** and

tactics for play at every level, touching on every conceivable

cushion along the way. (Amazon.com Review - Jeff Silverman
