[PAUL DANIELS] ORRIN, J. F. Ring Up the Curtain
ORRIN, J. F. Ring Up the Curtain. London: George Johnson at the Magic Wand Office. 1930. First edition. Stiff card printed wraps. An interesting guide to more elaborate tricks and acts—one has to be quite the carpenter to build apparatus here—with a very impressive ownership history: to the front endpaper is stated ‘From Tom Harris’ Library (Ex Will Goldston) via Fred Wiles to Paul Daniels’, with Daniels’ ex libris facing. Harris, Goldston, and Wiles were, like Daniels, very well-respected magicians. Some rubbing and light stains to the boards, the corners and spine joints bumped and nicked. Very good.
