Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Thus. Fair plus ONLY copy of the first printing of the hardbound Tannen edition with the pictorial label on front board. We grade this copy only fair plus because there is fraying to cloth at spine ends and corners. The pictorial label has a little rubbing. Not issued in a printed jacket. No prior owner markings. Originally issued as individual lessons at premium prices in the mid to late 1940s, then in 1961 re-issued as a bound book by Louis Tannen. Some readers today are only familiar with the book in its abominable re-issue by D Robbins, successor to Louis Tannen, Inc., with cheap binding and poor quality of the photographs. The large and plentiful George Karger photographs have always been one of the features of the series and it has been a shame how the loss of the original printing materials has resulted in an undignified printing of this landmark publication. This edition has high production values (for example, coated paper stock and good photographic reproduction.) One of the most influential and inspirational collections of magic effects assembled in the 20th century. Many now classic effects appear here in their original form for the first time: Cutting the Aces, Spellbound, Flight of the Paper Balls, etc.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Inside are the wartime memoirs of my father, of blessed memory, whose quiet young life and that of his family in prewar Poland were abruptly transported into the abyss of the Holocaust. His narrative records the seismic shifts and tragedies he endured, including the loss of his family and friends. Like many other Jews in Poland, he struggled to survive the murderous onslaught of the Nazis. However, he quickly discovered that he was primarily evading the many Poles who pursued those Jews the Nazis had missed exterminating. In this setting, he was witness to harrowing incidents laced with fear, treachery and murder. The tales of his escapes from death and the story of his survival in the forests of Poland are accompanied by some photographs that my father was able to salvage as well as some other photographs indicative of his experiences. While he did manage to survive, his family, friends and all the other nameless faces in the photographs did not. For me, writing this book seemed to be the most appropriate memorial to my father and all the others. Memoir of Kalman Horowitz, a Polish Jew who survived the Holocaust by jumping off a train en-route to Treblinka. This item is printed on demand.
