Sobre este artículo
New York: Darien House. Near Fine in Very Good+ dj. (c.1977). First Edition. Hardcover. [a nice clean copy, with just a touch of wear to the lower extremities; the jacket spine is a bit color-shifted (with a little bleeding of same onto the edge of the rear panel), and there's a tiny closed tear and some associated creasing/wrinkling at the top of the rear panel]. (B&W photographs, drawings, facsimiles) A how-to book of amazing things to be done with playing cards: "A treatise on the art of throwing, scaling, juggling, boomeranging, and manipulating ordinary playing cards with particular emphasis on impressing one's friends and providing a deadly yet inexpensive means of self-defense" -- "an imperative for today's urban society." The first book by the renowned magician/actor/writer/collector/historian, connoisseur of the weird, and self-anointed "pasteboard projectilist" -- a hilarious work that manages to be both scholarly and largely tongue-in-cheek. Primarily issued as a trade paperback (and reprinted as such in 1988), with the hardcover first printing being quite uncommon. .
