Ernst, Bernard M. L. and Hereward Carrington. Corrected proof of Houdini and Conan Doyle, with Ernst’s file of carbon-copied Houdini-Doyle correspondence. Printer’s proof of uncut sheets with corrections to the text, likely in Ernst’s hand, which are reflected in the published work. Accompanied by several hundred carbon copies of correspondence between Houdini and Doyle as well as between Doyle and Ernst, as originally typeset, some also containing penciled annotations, presumably Ernst’s. Printer’s proof creased with small tears at bottom edge; some carbons similarly worn, else good.
