No doubt they are large books and the volume of information along with many color photos makes this set worth while having for the student of Magic with Apparatus along with Historical bits and pieces about the props contained within. All volumes are cloth bound with gilt stamping.

The first began with the Oriental Magic of the Bambergs 1973 numbers 228 pages with many illustrations and full color photos.

The second book of the series entitled Classic Magic with Apparatus 1976 numbers 208 pages with numerous illustrations and many color photos.

The third volume of the series entitled More Classic Magic with Apparatus 1976 numbers 268 pages plus a section of approximately 100 pages of beautiful full color photos of not only apparatus but antique magic posters as well.

Volume 4 entitled Further Classic Magic with Apparatus 1982 numbers 229 pages full of illustrations plus over 112 pages of full color photographs of apparatus and apparatus collections.

I have to say these books have a very special appeal not quite achieved by any other publication. All four volumes are 1st editions and all are Limited editions each being signed by Dr. Robert Albo.
