Query: Definitely NOT what I expected

Having played off and on for 20+ years I am now looking to purchase my first cue. I was hoping this book would help me decide or at least narrow my search. It did not. I did not find any info. on cue construction, Pros and Cons, what to look for (and out for), what brands are known for what. Nothing. I knew there wouldn't be great detail on every cue but I was hoping for something like "Balabushka is a good all around stick", "McDermott has a nice solid feel" and "Meucci is good for english players". Nope nothing even close. There is NO info. on materials or the pros and cons of different joints or tip materials. If you are looking to use this as a guide to purchase your cue for playing, save your money.... there is much better info. for free on the net.But, if you are looking into collecting cues as a hobby or business then this is the book for you.
