[Hilliard, J.N.] Downs, T. Nelson. The Art of Magic. Chicago: A.P. Felsman, 1921. Second edition. Red cloth decorated in black. Portrait frontispiece of Downs. Illustrated. Thick 8vo. Klosterman bookplate. Front hinge starting, else good. George Kaplan?s copy, bearing a humble and erudite page-long inscription on the flyleaf from J.N. Hilliard, who ghostwrote the book for Downs. It reads, in part, ??so far as I am concerned, fortune has smiled bounteously on this book of mine. True, it has brought no pieces of silver to the palm. But ? and this is what has made the task worthwhile ? it has brought me friends. Among them, I hope, you. Always sincerely, John Northern Hilliard.?
