The Life and Afterlife of Harry Houdini in paperback

The paperback edition of Joe Posnanski's The Life and Afterlife of Harry Houdini is released today. The paperback features the same cover as the hardback edition released last year.

If you never got around to getting the hardback, I'd recommend grabbing this paperback and having a read. This is a highly enjoyable and unique book that beautifully captures Houdini and a cast of Houdini-obsessed characters (including yours truly) who are forever wild about Harry!

The Life and Afterlife of Harry Houdini paperback can be purchased on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.

    Does it have an index?

      I don't have one in hand yet. But as the hardback didn't have an index, I doubt the paperback will.

    It was suggested to us there would be one.

      That would be great. I'll tell you when I get my copy. But I ordered from Amazon UK so it will take a while to reach me.

      It is great. I do like when the paperback offers new artwork. But in this case they had such a winner, why change it.
