Dover Books On Magic

Last Update: May 2015 Added thumbnails of the books, updated book information.

As a teenager in the 1970's, my only access to magic was through books, and with no magic shops near me, I had to resort to the local county library and bookstores. My first stop would always be to the game section where I could browse the selection of (mostly) Dover books on magic that they might have in stock. This guide is an attempt to list all of the former and current books on Magic Tricks (and some related arts) that were published by Dover Publications, Ltd.. If you find additions that are not listed here, I would appreciate an update (you can e-mail me at magicref@magicref.net).

Recently Dover Publications began offering many of their books in e-book format. I have listed those below, current as of May 2015. They offer combination deals if you buy both the physical book and the e-book together. Dover e-books do use Adobe DRM, which limits their portability somewhat.

Also, Lybrary.com offers the entire catalog of Dover e-books, and in fact, has a few that are not listed on the Dover Publications website.

Also, since many of the Dover books are reprints of older books, you can sometimes find e-book versions of the same title from other magic e-book providers, such as:
