Glen, Laurance. The Magician?s Road to Fame. London: Ludo Press, (ca. 1922). Green boards stamped in gold, with the scarce dustjacket. Illustrated with reproductions of magic posters, advertisements, and hand-tipped plates. Tissue guarded. 8vo. Tape at head of spine with other short tears, else very good.A lovely example of book production in Edwardian England, replete with lavish illustrations and color tip-ins, many of which appear in no other publications, and many of which are reproductions of never-seen posters and artwork advertising magicians of the times. The dustjacket for this work is significantly scarcer than the book itself.
