Synopsis

This book is a collection of vintage articles on the subject of billiards, with information on a variety of subjects ranging from holding the cue to "topping" the ball. Carefully selected for a modern readership, these timeless articles will be of considerable utility to both novice and experienced player alike. Contents include: "The Meaning of Good Billiards", "Some Useful Hints for a Start", "The Right Temperament", "Billiards Don'ts", "Mode of Scoring", Preliminary Hints: The Stance: Cueing: The Bridge", "Preliminary Practice: Holding the Cue, and Freedom", "Striking the Ball: The Half-Ball Shot", "General Strokes for a Beginner", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on snooker, pool, and billiards.
