Here are the vanished days of the unfettered Sultanate in all their dark, melodramatic splendor-a mingling of magnificence with squalor, culture with barbarism, refined cruelty with naive humor. Until 1912 Morocco never suffered foreign domination, and its mountainous interior was as closed to foreigners as Tibet. WALTER HARRIS (1866-1933), though, was the exception. He first visited in 1887 and lived in the country for more than thirty-five years, and as the Times correspondent had observed every aspect of its life. He was an intimate of at least three of the ruling Sultans (as well as King Edward VII) and a man capable even of befriending his kidnapper. It was said that only three Christians had ever visited the walled city of Chechaouen: one was poisoned, one came for an hour disguised as a rabbi, and the other was Harris. Originally published in 1921, Morocco That Was is alternately sharp, melodramatic, and extremely funny. The combination of perceptive and reliable observer, and romantic eccentric, makes this book a classic of its genre.""- Times Literary Supplement.

<p>Most pool and billiard experts would rather surrender the secrets of their sex lives than share a useful tip or system. These books coaxed many such tips from a global source of experts. All on how and why to get a cue ball from one place to another....a cornucopia study book for years and years to come.</p>

Billiard Atlas

It is obvious that having definite objective aiming points will do wonders for a player's game, which is the basis of these books...the word "systems" does not exactly define this collection...a more appropriate description would be "planning cue ball paths."

If a player decided to study cue ball paths, he could not find enough "structured study information". What little material was available, from the worlds top players, was out of print. A decision was made to research and collect information, which took Harris on a 15 year trip into the global storehouses of billiard information.
