A Rookie's Guide to Buying or Selling a Pool Table

by Mose Duane

Overview

Buying or Selling a Pool Table analyzes the aspect and makeup of most pool tables including rails, playing surface, frames, cabinets, finish, cushions, pockets, cloth, and accessories. It presents valuable insights and inserts titled Buyer Tips, Seller Tips, and Words of Experience that could potentially save a buyer or seller hundreds if not thousands of dollars. The book explains the difference between cabinets and frames, all-wood, particle board, and hardwood, finishes and laminates, and the difference between three kinds of rails and how they are attached to the table. And which of those are the best, and why.
