    By the way, Polidoro's Final Séance is a fantastic book and a nice companion to Earnst's Houdini Doyle correspondence text.

    You're welcome Joe, and thanks to John for posting this. A copy of Earnst's Houdini Doyle Correspondence is in the upcoming Potter & Potter winter auction in early December.
