Synopsis

Originally published in the late 1800s, this is an anthology of articles on billiards by a master of the game, and is full of invaluable information that is still practical and relevant to the modern day reader. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
