Billiards for Beginners

This little book is a reprint of a series of articles contributed to “The Billiard Review” by Mr. John Roberts. It is designed principally for the instruction of beginners, but “Rule of Thumb” players of a larger growth would doubtless derive much benefit from a study of it. The measurements are in every case taken from the edge of the cushion to the centre of the ball. The . cushions and pockets are numbered from the left facing baulk, the baulk cushion being No. 1 and the bottom left-hand cushion No. 2
