Just thought this was interesting. I Just found a copy of Expert billiard ball manipulation up for sale on ebay. the original 1902 book. Man I wish I had the money to buy this 120 yr old book. I do some billiard ball manipulations, it would be great to know how far they took the art 100 yrs ago..

This copy is way overpriced. The book is not rare, and should be fairly easy to find at a good used magic book dealer's. Since it is in the public domain, I wouldn't be surprised if Lybrary.com or the learned pig didn't have it as an e-book.

It came out later as a two volume set. You can find them around from time to time. I saw Volume 2 for sale fairly recently for $35 or so. This is definitely overpriced. Keep you eyes and ears open and a set will surface and you'll save yourself several hundreds of dollars.
