Reseña del editor: This book is a classic guide to Billiards, with a special focus on “side” and “screw” shots. It is intended for moderately advanced amateurs with a knowledge of the game and the more elementary strokes being presumed. With simple diagrams and comprehensive instructions, this volume is ideal for those wishing to improve their existing billiards skills, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: “An Ounce of Theory”, “Rotation”, “Angles”, “Velocities”, “Side”, “Screw”, “A Pound of Practice”, “Top of the Table Play”, “Bottom of the Table Play”, “Cannons Leading to Remarks”, “Kiss-Strokes”, “Miscellaneous Strokes”, “The Billiard-Clock”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on billiards, pool, and snooker. This book was first published in 1901.
