Nevertheless he wrote this volume, which is not really a part of his trilogy, but functioned as a place to put the material he already collected.

This is one of the best books by Houdini, because here he writes about something he really knows a lot about. With many of his escapes he had to be very familiar with the knots he was tied up.

If you can only buy one book by Houdini, by this one.
