HILLIARD, John Northern. Greater Magic. Minneapolis: Carl Waring Jones, 1938. First edition. Maroon cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Lacks jacket. Over 1000 illustrations by Harlan Tarbell. Thick 8vo. Front hinge cracked, spine sunned. Inscribed and signed on the flyleaf by the publisher. Only 1000 copies of this first edition were produced, as the book was initially published at the high price of $12.50. The initial run sold out quickly, and Hilliard?s work is now widely regarded as one of the cornerstones of the literature.
