Cloth bound with Gilt stamping, 397 pages with index, illustrated. A Limited Numbered Edition. This book matches somewhat in format to the Goldston Exclusive Magical Secrets Locked Book Series and has been dubbed the 4th unlocked locked book if that makes any sense.

It is best summed up by the note given prior to the introduction by Horace Goldin which states "Great Magicians' Tricks is divided into 2 complete parts, Magicians of the Past and Modern Magicians. The secrets of each particular magician follow immediately upon my own character impression of that magician. All the tricks and illusions included under the first section of the book were acquired by me during the lifetimes of the deceased magicians whilst those of the Modern Magicians were specially contributed for this volume."

In addition to the illustrations you will find photo plates of various famous magicians being an enhancement to the book. Some edges bumped, previous owner's signature of 1931 along with another previous owner's embosser and finally a note from the last owner stating "I purchased this volume for $300 at Collector's in 1982... and was glad to get it!" This is in as fine a condition as you are likely to find.
