Deventer, A. ter Gunne, 1855. Small 8vo (16.6 x 10.0 cm). 48 pp.; ten engraved text illustrations. Original printed, pictorial blue wrappers.
Very rare, ephemeral and anonymous booklet on billiard sports, or cue sports. Twenty-one different games are described. This is followed by a glossary and an index. Some terms are still in use today, others have become obsolete or are entirely forgotten. Written in Dutch. We found no other copies anywhere on the internet. OCLC does not report any copy – not even in the Netherlands. Light spotting to the wrappers; partly torn at spine fold; otherwise a very good, clean and unmarked copy.
