There is a chapter on Houdini in the new book,
Retro Pop Culture A to Z: From Atari 2600 to Zombie Films by Brett Weiss. What makes this chapter of note is that Weiss interviewed mega collector Arthur Moses for the book, and Arthur shares some keen observations about Houdini ("He had something of a little man's complex") as well as info on his own collecting ("There's a Chinese book from the 1930s that I'd love to have.").
You can buy
Retro Pop Culture A to Z: From Atari 2600 to Zombie Films on Amazon as a print
paperback or as a
Kindle eBook.
