Burlingame, H. J. Leaves from Conjurer's Scrap Books. Chicago, 1891. Green cloth stamped in gold and black. First edition, first binding state. Illustrated with plates. Very good condition. Nice copy. A fascinating, if flawed, anthology of stories related to the great magicians of the late 19th century, among them Balabrega, Canaris "The Greek," Kellar, Herrmann, Carl Hertz, and Master Eddie Abbott, who, at the age of six, was billed as the world's only "boy magician."
