LIMITED EDITION number 734 of 1,275 copies issued on specially-made Dutch paper with deckled edges, and including reproductions of original woodcuts, among these the iconic images of conjuring apparatus from what is considered the first work in English to explain magic tricks. With an introduction by the Rev. Montague Summers. Top edge gilt. Small folio. Cloth bright and crisp, only minor wear to spine, free endpapers toned as usual. About the finest example of this handsomely made book we have encountered. Offered with the Kaufman & Greenberg reprint, in a three-piece case mimicking the look of the original.
