While Houdini's attack on Robert-Houdin as "the prince of pilferers" hasn't found many supporters over the years, the book is still an excellent history of pre-20th century magic with many rare illustrations.
The cover art for this new Kindle edition features the statue of Robert-Houdin in front of his home in Blois, France. This somewhat echoes the original cover which featured a bust of Robert-Houdin. I'd love to see this cover on a print edition.
Purchase The Unmasking of Robert-Houdin for the Kindle on Amazon.
