Re: TARBELL - Where to find original illustrations?

I think Tarbell redrew everything for Lou Tannen when the Tarbell Course began.
Like most people, I'm sure Tannen threw the original drawings away once the books were printed.

Re: Variations of Jim Steinmeyer's "Nine Card Problem"

I don't know why I wrote that comment uner "Richard Kaufman 2." The first handling of the Nine Card Problem appears in New Invocation magazine years before I published the handling in MAGIC magazine. Also, I only published the handling AFTER David had done it on TV.

Re: The Aretalogy of Vanni Bossi

I think far more people were conversant with the meaning of "melange" when that book came out than would be today. I would say the title is irrelevant. Collins's name along should have ensured good sales of his book.

Re: The Aretalogy of Vanni Bossi

Wonderful book. But a publisher really doesn't know how a particular book is going to sell. It's always a guess. And we don't know how many were printed, what expectations were, if several boxes of books were found, and so on.
