Editorial Reviews
Tom Shaw - Pool & Billiard Magazine Nov 1995
"PLAY YOUR BEST POOL, by Phil Capelle is the most thorough book on playing pool ever published. This huge tome is pretty amazing. It is well written - in fact, the style is exceptionally clean and neat, a reflection of its overall approach to pool. Though not really a book for raw beginners, Play Your Best Pool starts out with twenty-four pages on grip, bridges, etc. It then systematically covers every single aspect of the game right through to professional level. Every shot you can think of is discussed. And I mean every shot and situation. I even started a little game with myself while I was reading, trying to think of a shot or situation not covered because the completeness of the book just smacks you in the face. I gave up. This is one thorough book. It might have been titled, Everything you ever wanted to know about pool. With a book this thorough, you tend to get carried away with its impressive numbers, but we don't want to forget the quality. It is very clearly written and illustrated, and contains a huge amount of practical information to help you deal with improving and enjoying your game. This is a book to study and use. You'll love it".

George Fels - Billiards Digest Feb 1996
"His chapter on position play runs 89 pages, and contains some of the best writing on the subject ever presented. Beyond the position basics of draw, follow, and English, he takes you into the seldom-discussed areas of position zones, the right-side-of-the-ball concept, rail targets, two- and three-rail position, and much more. While his diagrammed examples teach position for no more than two shots ahead, sometimes three, his principles are eminently correct; this one is one of those rare books from which you can actually learn something. Highly recommended".
