Byrne's Complete Book of Pool Shots

Byrne's Complete Book of Pool Shots is a definitive instructional guide written by Robert Byrne, an inductee of the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame. Originally published in 2003, the book serves as a masterclass for billiards enthusiasts, detailing 350 essential moves and strategies.

The book was originally published by Harcourt, a storied American publishing firm founded in 1919. Through a series of acquisitions in the 21st century, the Harcourt trade division was merged into Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH). As of 2022, the trade publishing division of HMH was acquired by HarperCollins Publishers, which is a subsidiary of News Corp. This puts the ultimate ownership under the global media conglomerate headquartered in New York City. Manufacturing for these physical books typically takes place within the United States, though global distribution often involves local printing partners.
