hardcover. Condition: Good. Second Edition. Publication: London, Methuen & Co. Ltd., 1932 Formatting: 8vo, pp. [viii], 150, [10]. Condition Report: Good. The original green cloth binding remains structurally sound, though it exhibits uneven sunning to the boards and a notably darkened, heavily faded spine that has shifted from green to a brownish hue. The extremities show mild rubbing and minor shelf-wear. Internally, the binding is secure with no loose pages. The text block edges are moderately toned and dust-soiled, with scattered foxing that occasionally encroaches into the margins of the preliminary leaves, though the main text remains largely bright and legible. An honest, intact copy bearing typical signs of age. Catalogue Note: This 1932 'Second and Cheaper Edition' of Billiards offers a comprehensive guide to the game by the legendary Australian world champion, Walter Lindrum. Originally published in 1930, this subsequent issue retains the original instructional integrity, featuring eight photographic plates, including a frontispiece portrait of Lindrum at the table, and seventy detailed instructional diagrams. Early cloth-bound editions of Lindrumâs seminal work have become increasingly uncommon on the open market, particularly those that remain tight and structurally unsullied by significant institutional use. While true first editions command a premium, this early 1930s printing serves as a highly desirable working copy for collectors of cue sports history and instructional antiquarian texts. Master the green baize with one of the most dominant figures in the history of cue sports. In Billiards, Australian prodigy and long-reigning World Champion Walter Lindrum distils a lifetime of break-building brilliance into a definitive instructional guide. From foundational techniques and stroke selection to the intricacies of top-of-the-table play, nursery cannons, and temperamental psychology, Lindrumâs authoritative advice is illustrated with extensive diagrams and striking action photographs. Whether you are a dedicated student of the game or a collector of sporting history, this classic treatise offers an unparalleled window into the mind of a billiards genius. N/A (illustrator).…
