Herrmann, Alexander. Herrmann?s Great Book of Mystery. [Chicago], ca. 1899. Oversized catalog/song book advertises dozens of magic tricks, a book of card magic by Rothberg [Roterberg], and includes sheet music and popular song lyrics. 16pp plus wrapper. 4to. Intact but fragile; chipped, torn, and worn; fair. Uncommon. Published after Herrmann?s death in 1896, yet still trading on his name and fame by using his name and iconic Mephistophelean image on the cover.
