This is a scarce first edition of Maskelyne's classic book on the secrets of cheating at cards, dice and more. The second edition is much more common, but this is the original as issued in 1894. All plates are still present.
 
Condition: Fair, binding is very loose with a few sections unbound, but still present. Overall there is wear and some marking to all parts of the book, it is very well-read. Pages are well foxed. A rare copy of this book, but best for display, rather than reference. A reading copy can be purchased in our exclusives section.
