Snooker Books written by Professional players

[telinoz]

Does anyone know of any good Snooker books written by any of the Professional players that covers practice, drills, technique etc?

I've started playing again after a long break, but other than the line up and playing frames I'm not doing anything else.

I prefer to use sources like books as generally they are solid with proven player history. If a Pro is giving advice, its usually right!

Like this one for example:

Jimmy has just released a second edition of his masterclass book. It is available for preorder at the moment and is due to for release at the end of Feb/beginning of March. Here's a link so you can see what you think BOOK

It's not written by a professional, I don't think... But I've got "Just One Frame" by David Jenner after reading many positive comments on it.

It is well worth a punt and on Amazon it is available used for ~£15: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-lis...&condition=all

Somebody in "For sale" is selling one in "new" condition though, so maybe you'd be able to find some arrangement there instead?

Good luck!

EDIT: Just noticed that the person selling it in "For sale" listed it in 2007! That sub-forum is acting very weirdly for me and not showing in date order. Probably better to ignore that!

EDIT 2: Available on the official site for £25. Link: http://www.justoneframe.co.uk/

Afternoon jrc. Yes as far as i know there is only one version of the book. I have found the same thing when looking on Amazon at Frank's book. Certainly does vary in price that's for sure.

How are you finding the book?
