    Shipping was quick, packaging was excellent, condition was acceptable as described -- binding loose but pages intact. I did message buyer asking about mold and didn't receive a reply -- luckily, there appears to be no mold. Great value for a 100+ yr old book!

    I received my book in absolutely pristine condition, better than described! Which is impressive because the copy is from 1930 and it looks like it has never been handled. It shipped very quickly, even faster than the estimated time given by a week. It was packaged very carefully. The book and shipping price was also very fair considering the age and condition of the book and the shipping speed. I am very pleased with this seller and will be ordering from them again in the future.

    I am always a little nervous when ordering books off of eBay but this seller has provided me with an EXCELLENT purchasing experience! The packaging was superior and I am grateful because this is a signed first edition and we all know how the post office can be at times. The Shipping was timely and the item actually arrived quicker than expected. The item EXCEEDED the description. It is stunning. I have dropped it off at my antiquarian for authors signature verification but the value is high.

  • A great bigger / intermediate book for magicians

    I'm a lifetime member of the Magic Castle in Hollywood and an Excalibur in the International Brotherhood of Magicians, this basically means I'v been in magic for too long a time. I purchased this book for one of my nephews and he found it exciting enough to get into it. He's eight yo, and parts of the book are not for his age and some of the book is best for describing trick from history than practice. I would recommend this book for age eight up and as far up as anyone in their first few years of magic. Best to all the future magicians, it's a society of Brotherhood that will last a lifetime.
