Conic Sections Treated Geometricallyby W. H. Besant - George Bell and Sons
In the present Treatise the Conic Sections are defined with reference to a focus and directrix, and I have endeavoured to place before the student the most important properties of those curves, deduced, as closely as possible, from the definition.

Geometry and Billiardsby Serge Tabachnikov
Mathematical billiards describe the motion of a mass point in a domain with elastic reflections from the boundary. Billiards is not a single mathematical theory, it is rather a mathematician’s playground where various methods are tested.

A Course of Pure Geometry: Properties of the Conic Sectionsby E.H. Askwith - Cambridge University Press
The book does not assume any previous knowledge of the Conic Sections, which are here treated on the basis of the definition of them as the curves of projection of a circle. Many of the properties of the Conic Sections are proved quite simply.
