This extremely rare book is Jasper Maskelyne's own account of his work applying magic principles to military operations and technologies during the Second World War. A fascinating read filled with plates. 
 
Condition: Fair/poor. This is ex-library and has been rebound at least once. Many pages and plates have been fixed into the book using binder's paper tape. The book also has many library stickers and stamps and wear where these have been partially removed. Boards and spine are well-worn. Pages have occasional marks and have yellowed. Binding still tight though, making this a good reading and reference copy of a very hard-to-obtain book.
