Thurston, Howard. The Book of Mystery. Columbus: Author, 1930. Colored pictorial wraps, illustrated with line drawings. 8vo. Wraps detached and stained; fair. Inscribed and signed on the cover, “Best Wishes Howard Thurston.” This is a variant of the more popular Thurston pitch book, Fooling the World, though the contents of the two publications appear to be identical. The book was ghostwritten for Thurston by Walter B. Gibson.
