First edition. Black cloth with gilt stamping on front cover and spine, pictorial dust jacket. Color frontispiece reproducing a Germain Three-Sheet Poster. Copiously illustrated, 624 pages. A charming account of not only Germain's personal life (from a man who knew him well), but also a chronicle of how his many artistic tricks and illusions were performed. Highly recommended. Mild shelf wear to jacket, else in near fine condition.
