From the collection of Chris Charlton with bookplate from the donation of his library to The Magic Circle (stamped to show it had been withdrawn from that library).

 

This is the scarce compilation volume: Tricks That Mystify. It contains three books by Goldston: More Modern Card Tricks, Magical Hints and Who's Who in Magic. The latter of these three is an indispensable reference for anyone researching the history of magic, it lists and gives facts on contemporary magicians, professional and amateur, and historic magicians. It also has many plates of these magicians and examples of their signatures. I refer to my copy almost every week. The other two books are also fantastic works. 

 

I use this as my go-to edition as the individually bound version of Who's Who in Magic by Goldston is a lower quality binding.

 

Condition: Good/fair, spine cloth has a split at the top of spine, wear and marks to boards including wear to bookcloth at edges of boards, some marks and wear to page edges, binding still tight.
