Product Description
Cornbread Red is based on the true life of Billy Joe Burge. Built on the bones of truth, the imagination of the author, and the creative memories of others, it is intended to be read as a biographical story. "Born to a sharecropping family during the Great Depression, Cornbread Red's early talent for pool was encouraged and his passion to win made him a favorite of betting men. In a fast, thrilling, and sometimes dangerous culture, Red learned the "rules of the road" from hustlers, gamblers, con-men, and champions. This book takes the reader into the life and mind of pool's greatest money player. Taste the excitement of high-stakes gambling as you go head-to-head in competition! Be there when the cues are chalked, the stakes are raised, and the nine-ball rolls into the corner pocket."
