Libro Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Fair to Good. 1st Edition. The low price of this copy is due to the condition being fair plus to good minus. Original cloth covers are worn around the edges with ink names of three prior owners: Charles W. Waldmann, E. (Eugene) Gloye, and Jessmah. No other markings. Light stains on rear cover. Spine dulled. Pictorial front cover is still quite readable. Some signatures are somewhat delicately bound. Unlike Hoffmann's other books, this one is exclusively devoted to inventions and routines of his own creation and the patter gives a good insight into the type of humorous Edwardian era presentations that Professor Hoffmann presented. 222 pages plus ads.
