Unreservedly, enthusiastically, and insistently recommended. This new edition is beautiful in appearance and weighty in content.

This is perhaps the best general introduction to the history of magic ever written...wonderful in its layout, illustration, and general attention to detail. I'm proud to be around at a time when at least one magic book publisher has done something truly meaningful for magic.
