The Encyclopedia of Stage Illusions by Burling Hull

. Gilt-stamped plush leatherette with jacket. Profusion of illustrations and blueprints. 4to.Dust jacket fair and book very good. A majority of the blueprints and drawings in Hull’s Encyclopedia were reproduced without permission from the copyright holders leading to a recall of many copies.  It is unclear how many are in existence but the small amount has led to a highly describable collectible.
