Dean Dickinson's a pool shark. He's ridden over 100 of them, most of them found on google earth. It's a mission every time to find it and empty it enough so it's rideable. "You should write a book about it!" is something Dean must have heard plenty of times and that's exactly what he did. Dean wrote the book and media legends Mike Daily edited it, Mark Lewman lead the project, Taj Mihelich did the drawings and Jared Souney and Ryan Davis designed it. The book's got 192 pages so it's not just a little side project. Some serious time and effort went into this. I got my copy at Interbike when Dean was lugging a couple around. Paid $30 bucks for it and am saving the read for a cold winter day when I have some extra time on my hands. The book's full of pictures but has plenty of pool stories inside. Each pool has its own story usually.
Not 100% sure where you can get your copy from, but contacting Goods BMX would be a good start.
