Rogers Press has reprinted the 1931 book
The Secrets of Houdini
by J.C. Cannell in a new paperback edition for $29.95. The publisher's stated mission is to republish "classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork."
Nifty for us collectors and completists, but has the good old 1973
Dover edition
ever gone out of print? I'm pretty certain I can walk into any magic shop in America and still find one sitting on the shelf for about $10. There was also the attractive
Bell hardcover
published in 1989 that is still surprisingly common.
And if one is so inclined to study the secrets of Houdini, the book you really should be reading is
Houdini The Key by Patrick Culliton. Just saying.
You can buy Rogers Press' new
The Secrets of Houdini paperback
on Amazon.
