Houdini: A Definitive Bibliography: A Description of the Literary Works of Harry Houdini

Van Nuys CA: Finders/Seekers Enterprises. Near Fine. (c.1991). Revised Edition. Stapled wraps. [nice copy, faint smudging on front cover, extremely light bumps at a couple of corners]. (facsimile reproductions) Despite the title, the author admits in a brief preface that "it is really not completely definitive." Still, it represents twenty-five years of dedicated research, and is very nicely done. Divided into five sections: Books, Pamphlets, Articles; Houdini's Reports on Variety Acts in The New York Dramatic Mirror; Harry Houdini's Articles Published in M-U-M (Magazine of The Society of American Magicians); Red Magic Section of The New York World, edited by Harry Houdini; Posthumous. Author Walter B. Gibson has also provided a Foreword, and there is a nice center section reproducing a number of advertisements for Houdini, all from the author's collection. .
