Hardcovers, brown textured boards under typographic dust jackets. Owner?s bookplate; jackets show light edgewear and fading. Very good in like jackets. The first editions were privately printed by Fitzkee (1898-1977) in the 1940s, but he gave the copyright to Lloyd Jones who reprinted these books several times. These are probably circa 1975-1980; cover prices vary from $12.50 - $15.00. According to the books themselves (which may not be entirely accurate), Showmanship is a fourth edition thus, Trick Brain is a fourth printing, and Misdirection is not stated. These three books, known as The Fitzkee Trilogy, are considered a landmark in understanding the theory of magic, and it is still relevant today. Extra postage required for international or expedited shipping.
