Complete Snooker for the Amateur

About the Author​

Joe was such an entrepreneur that he never ceased to take every opportunity to promote the game of Snooker and of course himself.

As you can no doubt imagine the early days of Snooker coincided with the demise of Billiards as a major box office commodity. This meant that making the most of any Snooker related publicity was a must. Prolific break builders like Joe Davis, Horace Lindrum and Sidney Smith would make the papers if they could make a record break, particularly if they made it in the world championships.
