Hardcover. Condición: Fair. 1st Edition. #409 of 1000 numbered copies. Inscribed on the limitation page "Compliments of (illegible) May 11, 1943) The signature does not seem to be that of Evans or Clapham. Condition is FAIR ONLY due to the original red cloth binding being heavily bumped and/or frayed at all four corners. No jacket, possibly none issued. This work compiles piano sheet music written by Palmer who was known to magicians as ROBERT HELLER. Evans provides a twelve page biographical essay and there is a collection of reproductions of memorabilia associated with the conjuror. One illustration is reproduced in red ink.

Hardcover. Condición: Poor. Top corner of front flyleaf has former ownership signature "Alice H. Sherwood, Auburn, R.I., July 16, 1899." Spine cloth is gone, with spine lining stained; binding is very worn; corners bumped and worn; hinges are broken; free front endpaper and page groupings at front and back are loose, present; many margins (and some edges of the text) have closed tears and/or chips and/or soil; as a small part of the bottom corner of one leaf was apparently torn out, a photocopy of the missing text was laid onto the corner of that leaf (not a very pretty restoration job, but functional); pages and plates at back are dampstained; reading copy only. The double chromolithograph at front and title page are present, followed by pages [i]-x, 33-503, with in-text illustrations, the aforementioned double chromolithograph, and 96 p. of black and white plates, present and accounted for (as for the text and table of contents beginning with p. 33, which is how the book was published, I suspect that two of the 16-p. groupings of plates were originally slated to be bound in before the first page of text (and be counted as pages), but that plan changed and the pagination was never corrected; also, if you count the double chromo as 2 p. of plates, there are a total of 98 p. of plates, making the title-page claim, "Magnificently illustrated with over 100 full-page engravings" another inaccuracy). Large, heavy volume [otob: 41 (ck 43)].
