Rest in Peace Pressley I got to know Pressley when I was in my mid-20's thanks to my friendship with Bob White and Paul Uhler. I stopped to visit him in Abilene on a drive back to Dallas and we got to be fast friends. Not sure if he is on here but some of his friends, particularly Jerry Guyer, could...

These were available in Japan in limited quantities. Very nicely made by expert Japanese craftsman. The leather is very buttery and the stitching is great. It uses a slightly smaller than standard size envelope. You can read more about it here: http://tenyo-magic.blogspot.com/2013/07/tenyo-new-le-pa...

Purchased in the Spring of 2019 from Owens - 10" Hollow Steel Rings- 2 Single, Chain of Two, Chain of Three, and Key (non locking). Still have the original invoice - have never been used other than lightly handled. Gorgeous rings - just bigger than I will ever use - should be with a collector o...

I bought these about 18-24 months ago and thought that I would use them pretty regularly. I have practiced with them twice and after prodding from my wife to pare back my collection I'd like to start with these. They are absolutely gorgeous rings that rings like a bell. With Owens gone and quality l...

Bob was a naturally talented artist, he was great at sketching and had a knack for naturally knowing proportions and getting the details right. He was largely self taught. He obtained several books of drawings and designs (think Dover book series) and he would practice....all the time. He would cut ...

What a year it has been –it seems like it has been ages since good friend Bob White passed away. I talked to Bob virtually every day, most times twice a day, for nearly thirteen years. I've been thinking about Bob quite a bit the last few days and thought I would post a remembrance and a few anecdot...

Not sure if he mentions it on the DVD, but Bob would go to the grocery and open a carton of medium sized eggs. He would pick out the smallest ones and put them in a carton. He would then blow these out as you mention with a bulb syringe. Bob loved to pack small. Even his school assembly program coul...

Justin - there will be some books but not many. Bob had a very small library to begin with, and he sold almost all his collectible books in 2015 to a friend. I’m going to try and catalogue what’s left this afternoon or tomorrow and post online. Brian - these are made of rayon faille with a very narr...

ve finally cleared Bob's stuff to a storage unit closer to me and will be going through it (it's probably going to take me a year to finish it all). I don't think Bob had enough collectible stuff to warrant a Potter and Potter style auction, so per his wishes I will be disposing of his collection. T...

I don't know if they plan on it, but I hope Penguin will keep separate branding for the Hermetic Press.

I really wish they would reprint The Georgia Wonder book by Barry Wiley.

JordanB

Wow. I have a headache from trying to read that. Thank God I'm not an attorney.

The real irony is that I was listening to the Turtles when I clicked on the link (true story). It only would have been better had it been on Sirius XM.

Just wanted to commend David for his excellent column in the January 2016 issue. His columns are always great, but this one was especially important. I didn't realize how much things had changed until my son was born. He just turned five a few weeks ago and it really resonated with me. I highly reco...
