The Daily Mail recently profiled the book and the author. The story includes a collection of preview images from the book, including a photo of Houdini in shackles that I've not seen before.
While today is the official release date, online retailers do not yet appear to have the book in stock. But Derek tells me the publisher assured him copies are on the way, so hopefully any shipping delays will be temporary.
The Great Houdini: His British Tours will not be released in the U.S. until November 2, 2017.
Purchase The Great Houdini: His British Tours at Amazon.co.uk (UK) and pre-order at Amazon.com (U.S.).

Cool!
ReplyDeleteThe photo haven't seen before: is that the one depicting a young HH hunched over in evening clothes shackled with cuffs and leg irons?
ReplyDeleteYes. It appears to be from the same series of photos taken for the Royal Magazine piece, but I don't think this one was published.

Take your pick. :-)
You know, after having a nice big spread in the Daily Mail three days ago, you would think the publisher would have done all he could to have these ready to go.
ReplyDeleteAgreed

DeleteLooking forward to your review of this book. Thanks for your great work!

ReplyDeleteMine was hung up at Amazon, so I ended up switching my order to The Book Depository (which is listing among the other sellers). It was cheaper and it has shipped!
