The cover is otherwise intact -- all pages are intact and tightly bound. But when closed, the back cover does not line up with the pages and front cover (see second close-up photo)THE GREAT ILLUSIONS OF MAGIC by Byron Wels. TWO BOOK SET (D. Robbins edition, 2015)Originally Published in the 1970's by Tannens, this excellent two-volume collection of illusion plans has been reprinted four times in the last 40 years -- a testament to the detail and quality of the information in these books. D. Robbins took over the rights to the books and have reprinted it once in 1984, again in 1996, and most recently in 2015. This is the 2015 fourth reprint. This edition of the set was printed without a dustcover, and to be honest, (as I always try to be), the overall production quality of the books is not as nice as earlier editions. The Gold stamping on the covers is a bit weak, and the paper quality is not as nice as the earlier Tannen's editions or the first D Robbins edition from the mid 1990's. But that said, these are nice, durable hardcover volumes, filled with amazing information about classic illusions of magic -- and they do not command the triple-digit prices that are typically tagged to earlier editions (if and when they come up for sale). The two books are divided into Text (in the 8.5 x 12 inch sized volume) and Plans in the oversized (10 x14 inch) book. The text book describes each illusion, and you can look at plans side by side as your read the text, because of the two-volume format. IMPERFECT SET -- the text book is fine, but the larger PLANS volume has a slightly off binding along the spine -- see first closeup photo. The cover is otherwise intact -- all pages are intact and tightly bound. But when closed, the back cover does not line up with the pages and front cover (see second close-up photo) See the photos of the table of contents and page samples to get an idea of just how many illusions are described in detail. The information contained in this set is invaluable to anyone interested in a thorough understanding of classic illusions, or a handy wood worker/craftsman who wants to build his own large-scale illusion show! If you want to build the illusions, you need to know how to read blueprints. But even if you never build a single illusion from these books, you will find hours of enjoyment and inspiration looking over the ingenious methods that have been used to baffle and amuse audiences for generations. These 4th printing edition sets have a suggested retail of $80. (much lower than early editions, that go for $160-$200). I usually sell FIRST QUALITY SETS of this edition for $60, but you can get this IRREGULAR SET for a lot less!READ THIS IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTE AGAIN: THIS SET INCLUDES AN IMPERFECT VOLUME, SO IT IS PRICED TO REFLECT THIS. THE IRREGULAR IMPERFECTION RESULTED FROM THE MANUFACTURERING/PRINTING PROCESS. IF YOU DO NOT MIND A SMALL IMPERFECTION ON THE BOOK SET, SAVE SOME DOLLARS WITH THIS SET. IMPERFECT SET -- the text book is fine, but the larger PLANS volume has a slightly off binding along the spine -- see first closeup photo. The cover is otherwise intact -- all pages are intact and tightly bound. But when closed, the back cover does not line up with the pages and front cover (see second close-up photo). SORRY INTERNATIONAL (NON-USA ADDRESSES) CUSTOMERS: this item is heavy and so must be shipped via International Priority Mail, which is really expensive. But the package is a flat rate box, and so if you are interested in other magic in our listings, you can probably add other items with no more shipping costs. Message me first so I can confirm that items you want will not require extra shipping if sent with these books. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF THE MAGIC GADGET SITE +++++++++++
