In the late 1920s J. Wobensmith published a book called "Magic Patents". Does anybody have a copy of this? In The Sphinx review of this item it says that only 100 copies were printed. So my hope that anybody has this is pretty slim.

"Magic Patents" by J. Wobensmith?
Re: "Magic Patents" by J. Wobensmith?
Chris: I have a copy, #3 of a limited edition of 100 numbered copies, this one inscribed to Walter Gibson. The book was published in 1928, consists of 83 single-sided pages and was bound in black cloth. Hope this helps. Clay

Mario,
what do you want to have for the copy? I am not a collector, I am mainly after the information.
I located a copy at the H. Adrian Smith library close to where I live. They would even make me a micro fiche for less than $60, or I can go there and view it and make up to 40 pages copies, that would be already half the book.
Anyway, if I can get it for a reasonable price, I would buy it and save myself the trip to Providence to Brown University.
