McGoorty: A Pool Room Hustler (Library of Larceny)
“Pool hustler, hobo, alcoholic, ladies’ man, and tournament player . . . McGoorty was a Runyonesque character and a first-rate raconteur.  The result is a memoir that should rack up many readers, even among those that don’t know a cue from a swizzle stick.” —Publishers Weekly“At times funny, occasionally filthy, here and there exaggerated, but it’s an entertaining story of a guy who doesn’t try to pass himself off as any sort of giant at the table: just a fellow who loved the game.” —Willie Mosconi, nineteen-time World Straight Pool champion
