"Play
Your Best Straight Pool" is one of the most comprehensive
courses on the game ever published. This 416-page book provides you with
355 illustrations that make it easy to learn the game's shots and
strategies. The book has 72 diagrams on controlling the cue ball and a big
chapter on pattern play that shows you how to read the table and plan your
runs. To achieve high runs you must be able to play break shot
effectively, so Capelle has included 50 illustrations that cover virtually
every break shot you'll ever encounter. A special chapter takes you
shot-by-shot through a 28-ball run, and chapters on strategy and safety
play will help you take control of the table from your opponent. Practice
routines isolate specific skills that will help you develop a complete
game, you're also provided with a game plan to help you break your
all-time high run record.

A book everyone can get something from
By Brophog from Chicago on April 6, 2012
When great books are discussed on the subject this isn't one of them. You won't find such a book on any 'must own' book lists because it is neither an all encompassing book or a book targeted at today's two most popular games.
However, it may be the finest straight pool book on the market. Because of that, it may be the finest pool book on the market. Every game has skills that are a byproduct of the skills needed to play great straight pool and no other book lines them out like this one. When it comes to managing position, patterns, clusters and safeties few others go into the depth and clarity found here.
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Top book
By Robert Minchin from Chicago on May 4, 2011
This book on straight pool is packed with info that I have not seen in most books. And it goes into amazing depth with each subject. Especially interesting is the 3 parts of the game in each rack and how to run a rack. IT's the best book I have read so far on pool, period.
I would recommend this item to a friend.

Best book on Straight Pool EVER
By Dan Werner on October 1, 2008
Best book on Straight Pool EVER!
1. Straight pool will make you a better play since you have to run more balls, break up more clusters, work in tight spaces, do more combo\'s and caroms, have PRECISE cue ball control, get used to bridging over balls, and so much more.
And this book will teach you the secrets of pattern play, shot selection, pitfalls of sloppy position, etc.
Get this book and you will learn sooo much!
