199: McArdle, J. International Dictionary of Magitain

McArdle, John. International Dictionary of Magitain. [Newtown, Mass.], 1963. From a limited, hand-printed and bound edition of 50 copies. Quarter leather over brown cloth, stamped in gold with jacket. Illustrated with plates. 8vo. Very good condition. Scarce. John McArdle set the type and printed 50 copies of this publication, and bound the books as well. The dust jackets of each copy were made from wrapping paper, and the flyleaves from shiny gold wrapping paper. The book is McArdle’s effort to outline a lexicon of conjuring in a formal manner.
