Jarrett, Guy. Magic and Stage Craft Technical. [New York]: Author, 1936. Firmly glued with linen backstrip intact, cloth covers likely never supplied by the author/binder. Illustrated with plates. 8vo. One of an estimated 500 original copies printed entirely by hand by the author. Jarrett produced each copy of this book by hand, writing it as he set the type on a small letterpress. While this example seems to be defective, based on its condition it was likely never finished by Jarrett, as the pages and sewing are clean and crisp.
