"Chicagoans venture to area pool halls to perfect their games and navigate league play for a shot at the APA World Pool Championships in Las Vegas. Dylan Taylor-Lehman joins a lively cast of characters under the lights and inside a subculture as old as Chicago itself. Whether running the table or waiting their turn, everyone has a story to tell and opinions to share on position play, pool's unwritten code, and life itself. Taylor-Lehman follows four promising teams on a mission to reach Vegas before unwinding an electric account of what it takes to win the world's premier amateur tournament-and what you take away when the balls aren't sunk. Entertaining and immersive, Going Rackless puts readers tableside to watch a game everyone has played but few truly understand"-- Provided by publisher.
