Will Goldston's More Exclusive Magical Secrets
192182770London: Will Goldston Ltd 1921. Limited Edition. No statement of edition or printing; numbered 811 of an unspecified number of copies. Small quarto. Publisher's green cloth titled in gilt to spine; marbled endpapers; 490pp; illus. A crisp clean copy with faint handsoil to binding just lightly rubbed at board edges and spine ends very fresh and tight within; Very Good to Near Fine. Laid in as found are four leaflets ca. 1930s advertising products from the London purveyor of magic props L. Davenport & Co.<br /> <br /> We note that there was a simultaneous deluxe issue in red morocco and a locking clasp uniform with Goldston's other two books in the "Exclusive Secrets" trilogy. This cloth issue though less elaborate appears to be the scarcer of the two bindings. A very nice copy of this classic of modern conjuring literature surprisingly scarce and often found well-worn.
