Blackstone’s Modern Card Tricks and Secrets of Magic with self portrait and wonderful signature to Doc Mossey

From 1948 and  also has a National Magic Company label in the book.  Doc was 23 years old and this was likely signed at the National Magic Company as Doc was in college and lived in Chicago. Notice Doc was Richard Mossey and not Doc yet! The self portrait and signature are one of the best I have seen. Doc was to go on to become a general surgeon and the youngest President of the IBM!  A piece of magic history for sure! Book is in excellent condition.
