★★★★★ Date Added: Wednesday 10 July, 2024The content of this book gets FIVE STARS. It's a great, classic book, full of practical material and some interesting historical tidbits about famous magicians who Faucett Ross befriended and rubbed elbows with (Dai Vernon, T. Nelson Downs, etc.)
I would probably rate this edition lower in terms of the quality of the photos in the e-book edition. I had this book for many years in hard copy form, the original book as published by Supreme Magic Co. (alas, I no longer have that hard copy, but am seeking out another) and I remember the quality of the photos being much better. The original book's photos were not exactly high-resolution photos by modern standards, but pretty good. The scanned photos in this e-book look harsh and low-resolution. It's difficult in some of the scanned photos to tell what it is you're supposed to be seeing. I know because I had the book at one time, but for someone seeing this book the first time in e-book form they may find some of the photos difficult to understand.
Aside from that I would highly recommend this book.
