FS: Books (Collectable and otherwise)

[Jeff Hinchliffe]

I'm selling some valuable (and not so valuable) books. Some I'm fine getting rid of, some I don't want to, but need to. Shipping is included unless otherwise stated (some of the books will be very heavy and so I'll have to calculate shipping prices. I live in Canada.)

Here's the list:

Dai Vernon Book of Magic - 1st edition (1957, Harry Stanley) autographed. No dust jacket (I don't believe they came with one) - $200

The Card Magic of LePaul - 1st edition (1949) autographed, #226 of 500. There is a bookplate on the inside page (ex libris Otto Brownridge) and the previous owner signed the book above the bookplate (possibly before the bookplate was put in) - $200

J.N. Hofzinser's Card Conjuring - 1st edition (1931) by S.H. Sharpe. There is a bookplate (ex libris Sid Lorraine) - $350

It's a complete file of Magic, bound into four blue hardcover volumes, each with 'Dr. Jacob Daley' stamped in the lower right corner in gilt lettering. This is one I can't let go for too cheap, I paid $400US plus 25% buyer premium - $500 (plus shipping, the 4 vols. will be heavy)

Hi Jeff,

Very nice list of books. FYI, the Vernon book did come with a dj, which is often missing or in poor shape. Good Luck.
