HOFFMANN, Professor (Angelo Lewis, 1839 – 1919). Modern Magic. Philadelphia: David McKay, n.d. (1920s?). American edition, later printing. Elaborately decorated bright blue cloth stamped gilt, white, and black. With the RARE dust-jacket mimicking the jacket design (reinforced at extremities by old cellotape, closed tears, staining and rippling to rear panel, but intact). Frontispiece of the Sphinx illusion, illustrated with a profusion of engravings. Thick 8vo. Near fine, with the RARE jacket, making for an especially pleasing example of this later edition of Hoffmann’s great classic.
