GOLDSTON, Will (Wolf Goldstein, 1878 – 1948). Great Magicians’ Tricks. London: Will Goldston Ltd., (1931). Pebbled maroon cloth, spine lettered in gilt, with marbled endsheets. DELUXE EDITION, with tipped-in photographs of a range of famous magicians and members of Goldston’s Magicians Club of London, a tipped-in photograph of an illuminated certificate presented to Goldston by the same club, and a tipped-in publisher’s certificate SIGNED by Horace Goldin, Arnold DeBierre, Murray, Douglas Dexter, G.W. Hunter, Louis Gautier, Arthur Sherwood, Harry Price, and Goldston. Profusion of illustrations. 4to. Ex-libris Jeffrey Atkins. SIGNED by Goldston again on the half-title. A few spots of soiling to cloth, faint foxing to a few leaves, but very good to near fine overall. Although not one of the “locked books” for which Goldston gained some notoriety, this volume is oftentimes considered a companion to those works, and in its binding and production is equal to if not superior to the three volumes that preceded it. It is, arguably, the most handsome of the many books Goldston published over the course of his storied career.
