Erdnase, S. W. Artifice, Ruse and Subterfuge at the Card Table. Chicago, 1902. First edition. Green cloth stamped in gold. Illustrated. 8vo. Minor wear to cloth, hinges starting, closed tear to title page reinforced with tape, and bookplate pasted inside front cover. Still, overall good condition for this example of the elusive first edition of this seminal work on card table artifice and legerdemain.
