Snooker is today’s boom sport. Fully established as one of television’s greatest attractions, the game continues to produce new stars and classic confrontations.

This book takes an alternative look at the players, the matches and the shots that have provided the drama of so many great championships. Highly illustrated, this book recalls the history of the game from the early billiard hall days, and assesses the state of snooker into the 1990s. It also includes a special section presenting the official rules of the game.

It’s author Terry Smith was the Daily Telegraph snooker correspondent and joint editor of Pot Black magazine. The foreword is by Steve Davis, many times World Champion and undoubtedly the greatest snooker player of our time.

Apart from some minor shelf wear to the outer edges the book is in very good condition.
