VERNON, Dai (David Verner, 1894 ? 1992). Four Dai Vernon Letters to John Braun. 1960s. Including a one-page ALS with the return address of Faucett Ross including this note: ??we have been working steadily on a book devoted to a discussion and analysis of Erdnase. This has been tentatively titled REVELATION. The final chapters will contain a considerable amount of material ? Hope to have it on the market within the next few months." He also discusses his Inner Secrets books, Harry Stanley, his tour of England, and Larry Grey's method for Cards Across. Vernon also flatters Braun and his friend Stewart Judah: ?I consider Stewart Judah one of the very best exponents of the ?art." He is a credit to the whole fraternity and they can learn much from him."
