Print sources for billiard games

[Lee Vilenski]

Hi! My name is Lee, and I'm one of those weird people who writes Wikipedia articles. I'm currently working on some old pool/Billiard games, or at least ones that have little visibility online. For an example, I took this article on Slosh to being a "good article", and our article on snooker to "featured article" (along with a lot more).

I recently took a look at some items that have very low amount of sourcing, and didn't know if anyone had any print sources for those games (or, if you have a photocopy of any old articles/newspaper clippings/press releases related to pool/billiards/snooker that might be of help). I've specifically been looking at "artistic billiards", "cowboy pool" and "baseball" recently, but anything you have may be of some real help.

Happy new year - happy to answer any questions you might have and would be incredibly grateful for any sourcing you might have.

Lee

Good cause, hope you find what your looking for here. Wikipedia is pretty much the main source of info these days.

Oh wow, I wasn't familiar with that. That could be ridiculously useful. There's a surprising amount of stuff on Artistic Billiards. Maybe too much!

Thanks. If you have anything else, that would be very helpful. About anything really. I'm doing up some cue sports articles at the moment, but if you have any specific article you think could do with some work, drop me a line.

Also, we are always looking for images. If you have any cue sport images, we'd love it if you could donate it.
