Adams, Graham. Watches, Slates, And A Pack of Cards. London, n.d. (1962). Red cloth. 4to. Photographs tipped in. Ex-libris Roland Winder. Boards slightly bowed, otherwise very good condition. Unique. This mimeographed manuscript describing Adams's "Watches, Slated and a Pack of Cards Routine" was bound expressly for Roland Winder. Also bound into this curious volume is an ALS to Winder from Adams that reads, "Thought you would like this instead of a Christmas card. There were some spare pages to make it into a book so I've filled them in." The latter sentence refers to two holographic manuscripts bound in, describing Adams's Ring on Stick and "Red Box. Green Handkerchief" routines.
