Description: Offered here is a Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company billiard "Y.M.C.A. Book" from 1913. Originally aimed at the executives of YMCA's for the promotion BBC's billiard and bowling equipment; it is now an indispensable reference to anyone interested in the "Golden Age of Billiards." How rare is the original? I've checked around, Brunswick itself doesn't have a copy, only a few pages. The Int. Y.M.C.A. archives at the Univ. of Minn. doesn't, Mike Shamos the famed billiard collector doesn't, nor does the Library of Congress.
