Shorty-A good friend of mine said that the price on these books fluctuate anywhere from $150-$200. He also said you can't go wrong buying it and that he thinks that the ebay seller on this is Eddie Robin-the books author. That's not a for sure so email the seller-I would think that a signed book by the author would bring a premium.

The rarest Eddie Robin book is Position Play in Three-Cushion Billiards and I have a copy for sale for $200 if you want to have the trilogy of Robin. I have seen or heard of two copies on ebay in 10 years - Johnny

Three of the six have passed away. Besides Kelly, Bugs and I are still around. Either that or I better inform my wife so she can start collecting on the insurance policy.

Well, I was going by memory as to who the authors were on winning one-pocket and I had had a conversation with someone else who said that 5 of the 6 authors had passed. We were both on the road and were going by memory as to who was alive - I have a good memory but never really scrutinized which authors were on which book. Grady, thanks for being so diplomatic about my mistake - and with good humor. - Johnny

My book is no longer available, the Eddie Robin 3 cushion book. I was reading thru the stuff above and noticed that Twoods commented on Robin's other books on ebay.......... Well, Twoods said that the value fluctuated between 150-200 bucks. I have never seen a winning one pocket for less than 200 unless it was badly damaged, or unless it was the inferior first edition. I think $200 is the low end, but I think he signs them if the buyer wants that... he signed mine for me for free in nice silver paint pen on the front cover, and he signed the Shots, moves, strategies book the same way (maybe the shots, moves, and strategies book sells for less than 200, I just assumed they were selling for the same price.) I have been following his auctions to see if he had any of the 3 cushion books for sale... finally after looking on ebay for a few years I just asked him and he said he had none but that he comes up with a copy once in a while. I got lucky and found two copies so that's why I put the one on here but it's gone. Sorry guys. But hey, if I find another I will put it on here! Learning billiards helped my one pocket game for sure.

Back in June the Winning One Pocket book was on e bay by Eddie. At the time a poster brought it up and thanks to him I was able to get this great leather bound 2nd edition signed with a dedication, sealed and delivered in a great packaging and all for only 198.01. For some reason action was slow on it but I think Eddie posts ones he has every once in awhile.
