they are considered THE BEST BOOKS ON ONEPOCKET
the market place determines its value
fyi
the second edition of WOP is more desireable
I don't know if Eddie Robin is still alive or not. Back about 2008 I bought both 1P books from him. He offered and I accepted a valuable extra - private instruction he provided over the phone, after reviewing a video of me performing cue strokes he specified.
He used to sell SMS and WOP 2cd ed. on Ebay for about $170 each back then. He told me his supply was running low, but what exactly low was to him I don't know - 20 or 200?. He spoke about publishing problems, but I'll let him reveal the details if he chooses.
My two books are still like-new-in-the-box with the nice addition of autographs from Wincardona and the late Ronnie Allen. Every time I think of selling I start reading them again and don't sell. But if anyone seriously offers me near $500 for my WOP the book's in the mail...
I am studying the new Mark Wilson book 'Play Great Pool'. I would recommend it for anyone starting to play pool, or for anyone wanting to elevate their game, or for anyone wanting to adopt reliable repeatable stroke and shot making basics and drills, or for anyone like me who has retired and wants to reinvigorate their never-so-great pool game.
Mark makes it clear that playing pool at the pro level takes a 10,000 hour commitment of work - practice, play, competition, and study - but he warns that adopting a non-standard playing style can extend those hours significantly. 'Play Great Pool' has one advantage over all other pool books I've seen - he does not confuse me by saying 'do whatever feels comfortable', he says 'use these specific techniques, drill until they become second nature, and they will help you avoid hundreds or thousands of hours of unnecessary extra work, on your way to the 10,000 hour minimum for top play.'
I recommend Play Great Pool to anyone looking to improve their pool game, even pros, and especially those who teach pool, or who are starting or re-starting their game. If I could have only one pool book Mark Wilson's book would be my choice.
