The Supplementary checklist (pages 195-211) updates Hall's "A Bibliography of Books on Conjuring in English from 1580-1850". From a contemporary review: 'Ten delicious chapters, arranged chronologically from the first English conjuring book of 1581 to the 1850 terminus . . . The writer's friendly and humane personality is always evident, and his fluent style makes the volume readable and entertaining as well as scholarly and erudite.' Dr Peter Wallis, The Library. Copy number 599, signed by the author. With a folded one page manuscript letter from the author laid in. Fine in original acetate dustwrapper, which is slightly marked. Seller Inventory # ABE-34141
