In the November, 2012 issue of Billiards Digest, the noted pool writer George Fels reviewed several DVDs and books. Fels mentioned that there had been “a spate of self-published, first-person accounts of players’ hustling days.”
After mentioning a couple of such books, Mr. Fels goes on to say, “The tome I enjoyed most, however, was Alf Taylor’s The Other Side of the Road: A Pool Hustler’s Tale.“
Comparing Alf to other authors of similar books, Fels wrote that Alf, “is the best writer, an erudite man with a skilled voice and dry sense of humor.” Finally, Fels comments that, “The highlights of his book are his touching tribute to his friend Eddie Taylor (no relation), and a hilarious adventure with the legendary Utley ‘U. J.’ Puckett … you’re going to enjoy this.”
