I happen to have a copy of "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Billiards" by Mike Shamos (Lyons & Burford Publishers -1993) but I haven't the foggiest idea
which version it might be or for that matter, if it's even the book you've referred to. It's a pretty comprehensive publication and has some great illustrations.

I am looking for a 1st and 2nd edition of the Billiard Encyclopedia. Let me know what you have.
