There are some good pool player's biographies here in the "Pro9 Library". If you don't see what you want, you can use the Amazon search button at the bottom of the Library page to find more. I recommend: "Cornbread Red" by Bob Henning.Billy "Cornbread Red" Burge was reputed to be the biggest money player ever... This is his life story. I would like to read: "The Green Felt Jungle" by Gerald HuberSimply because if the book is as good as the title it's got to be a cracker! Anyone else got a favourite? -----------------  Authorised Pro9 forum advertiser/sponsor

I'm not sure, but you can look up on the "Pool&Billiards" magazine site, as Jerry does some tournament reports, inc for the WPC for P&B  Willie
