That's it girls. We are on our way to Wembley, or the
Crucible Theatre, or wherever it is they play the big tournaments.
If we can, in the simple steps outlined in this pamphlet,
overcome our rubbishy feelings of inadequacy, pool mastery
is within our reach. If we learn the rules and acquire some
actual pool-playing skills*, our victory is certain. Onward
sisters, to the pool halls!
"Let her swim, climb mountain peaks, pilot an airplane,
battle against the elements, take risks, and she will not
feel before the world that timidity which I have referred
to."
-- Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex
(For this, Willie Mosconi's book, Pocket Billiards is highly
recommended as a starting point.)
