Sale list of books and media as low as $4.00 each on a multi-item order

Postby Dan Bradbury » August 29th, 2022, 7:06 pm

Greetings magic book fans! Here is a list of mainly paperback titles--both regular size (12mo & 8vo) and large size (4to) paperbacks—and every now and then some hardbound books, DVDs, audio, video cassette, or even a prop or trick in the mix. Generally, all are in “Good” to “As New” condition—a few may have former owner names, stickers, etc. and we seldom note those defects—also a few of the books are “ex library” and when that’s the case we’ll let you know. (We do have multiple copies of many of these isale tems and will always select and send the best copy available). Not all of the books are technically magic books—some gambling, psychic, humor, etc.—but all have been acquired along with magic collections we’ve purchased—so there may or may not be a magic connection. All items on this list are priced at $6.00 each OR order four to nine and they get them for $5.00 each or for the best bargain order 10 or more and get them at $4.00 each! (You get the price based on how many you order, regardless of how many we can actually supply.) Some great books to fill holes in your collection or to pass along to magic newbies.

As always, please email your wants to confirm availability and to receive shipping and payment options. Due to the volume of responses, we usually receive after putting out a list like this, it sometimes takes 24-48 hours to get back to you, but we do reply to all queries and reserve items in the order in which they are received. All items are listed as available subject to prior sale. Order information is at the end of the list.
