Practical Billiards

In the compilation of this volume it is necessary to explain that I have not dealt with the series of the game of billiards, but have only endeavoured to place before the reader such information as I consider most valuable to the player, together with a brief history and other matters of interest in connection with the game. I was prompted to compile this work by the constant taking of record breaks, and I hope that this volume will not only be one of instruction, but also of reference. I have collected the contents for many years from all sources, and hope the work will prove useful to all lovers of the game.
The book is part of the personal collection of Peter Ainsworth. The public section of the collection can be accessed via the following link: https://www.flipsnack.com/hylandbilliards/. We publish books and magazines in PDF format on our website with the owner’s permission.
