Comments: Second edition originally edited by Arthur T. Johnston, with updated illustrations by Ed Mishell. This latest is a revised edition by Magic World Publishers of the second expanded edition, and includes a do-it-yourself chapter. The first release from 1931 was a stapled, folded manuscript, the second "revised and enlarged" edition was a 5.5x8.5" saddle-stitched book, and this edition expands that 2nd edition even further.
