Quinn, John Philip. 19th Century Black Art, or Gambling Exposed. Chicago: Quinn Publishing Co., 1891. Rebound in one-third leather over marbled boards. Wood-engraved frontispiece of the author, illustrations of ?all Crooked Gambling Appliances.? 8vo. Very good. Scarce. Jessel 1412. Likely a variant printing; this example is on a significantly higher-quality paper than others we have encountered, which were, like other Quinn books, printed on brown pulp-like paper.
