Under the lead of the 'Kaohsiung Gang', the sport of billiards has been considered rather fashionable for some time in Kaohsiung. In order to promote the sport, the Information Office of the Kaohsiung City Government published a handbook -'Billiard Mania in Kaohsiung -A Game of Billiards in the World Games', in order to explore how the sport of billiards started and developed in both Taiwan and Kaohsiung. Through the publishing of this handbook, people are able to get a better appreciation of billiards. The handbook also touches on the training of junior high and high school billiard talents, as well as information about billiard equipment and facilities, rules for pool, game systems and basic movement. For those who have never come across billiards before, writers of the book hope that it provides these people with a general concept of the sport. Furthermore, the section on "the who's who of billiards, as well as the write up on high quality billiard rooms and calendars for important billiard games allows billiard lovers to further enjoy the game and understand it at a higher level.
