About 5 years ago, I bought a copy of "Winning One-Pocket" from an older man that worked in a billiards store in Houston. The book is autographed by Jack Breit, in red ink, and my purchase included a new cue ball that was also autographed by Mr. Breit. The man said he was selling these to help out Jack Breit's widow. The one I bought was the last one that he had.
I am interested in selling the book and cue ball together. The book is in near perfect condition. I have no idea what to ask. A while back, an unautographed copy of the book alone sold for about $360 on Ebay. All offers will be considered. Please email me at cfowen777@sbcglobal.net

I am Mary Detto Bennett Eddie Taylor "The Knoxville Bear" Niece, I do the web sites on him. I to have the book Winning One - Pocket it is autographed by the following people Edwin J Kelly - Grady Mathews - Eddie Taylor - Leonard Rucker - Bill Staton - and Jack Brett .. Although my copy will never be sold I can't put a price on it ... But before my Uncle Eddie passed away on Sept 5th ... he told me the book sold for about $45.00 and now was worth $400.00 in case I ever wanted to sell it ... I am sure now that the book will be worth more since he passed away ...
I will never part with my copy :) I also have a autograhed cue ball from Uncle Eddie "The Knoxville Bear" I am sure you shouldn't have a hard time, in finding a buyer ...
