About This Item
Pasadena, California: Mike Caveney's Magic Words, 2008. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Triggered by the discovery of more than 160 long-lost photographs of Dai Vernon's hands that were taken in 1961 specifically to illustrate his legendary annotations for The Expert at the Card Table by S.W. Erdnase, this lavishly produced volume is as close as one will ever get to a personal session with the Professor. Introduction by David Ben. Edited by David Ben and Michael Albright. Quarto: 378 p. Original green cloth binding, with bronze titles. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.
