I'm curious to know what snooker books AzB'ers have in their libraries.

I've slowly been adding books about snooker to my library. A lot of material can be found online these days, but I still prefer to collect books.

Complete Snooker for the Amateur by Joe Davis
The Breaks Came My Way by Joe Davis (autobiography)
Frank Callan's Snooker Clinic by Frank Callan and John Dee
Teach Yourself Snooker by John Spencer (ed. by Clive Everton)
On Snooker by Mordecai Richler


You can find Callan's material (without photos) at the Snooker Scene website; increment the final number "37" to access the next section.

Successful Snooker by Steve Davis can be found here:

You can find much larger collections in the following thread at The Snooker Forum:

On the fifth page of that thread you'll see photos of a good-sized collection that includes not only numerous snooker books, but also books on pool and billiards. For example, on page 6 of the thread you can see the spines of all four volumes of Walt Harris's A Billiards Atlas.

You'll also find books on snooker in Bob Jewett's long list of Billiard Books to Trade:

The book I started with was by Holt in "Teach Yourself" series. I think it is still in print. It described both snooker and billiards.
 
Play snooker with Dennis Taylor. The accompanying video too. Watched that on the telly when I was little and hadn't even played yet.
