TARBELL - Where to find original illustrations?
D. Robbins owns the rights and sells the 8 volumes of Tarbell Course in Magic.
How can one find the original illustrations? There are over 3000 of them.
Are the book illustrations the same as the original correspondence lessons?
Thanks.

Do you have suggestions on something to do that afternoon / early evening? (It doesn't have to be magic-related.)
