The alphabetically arranged entries run from one line to a few pages, though most are paragraph length. Some examples are breaking violation ("failure to comply with the special rules that apply to the opening break"), bridge ("the position of the hand in guiding the tip end of the cue stick," etc.), and ding ("a nick or dent in the shaft of the cue"). While individuals are mentioned throughout the work, there are no biographical entries. Such entries would surely be of interest, since people such as Willie Hoppe and Rudolf Wanderone (Minnesota Fats) are legendary. The entries in which they are mentioned are listed in an index of personal and city names that appears as an appendix. Addresses are included for most, but not all, organizations. The work includes more than 200 illustrations, including eight pages of colorplates. Another appendix lists the names of more than 400 billiard games.
Written especially for the billiards aficionado, this work should be acquired by public libraries, depending on local interest.
