[LECTURE NOTES] Collection of Max Maven’s Lecture Notes. 1970s – 2010s. Approximately 150 publications issued for various lectures presented by Maven (and Phil Goldstein) throughout the world and over the course of his long-ranging career. Includes examples for appearances in Phoenix, Chicago, Los Angeles, at the Magic Castle, San Jose, The Twin Cities, Japan, Muhlenberg College, Munich, Atlanta, Colon, Taiwan, Belgium, and dozens more, with several sets translated into Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, and French, and several produced for FISM, the Desert Magic Seminar, Magic in the Rockies, and other conventions. All bound in printed wrappers, most self-published by the author as illustrated 8vos, with a few scattered examples from other publishers. All being the AUTHOR’S OWN COPIES of these notes, spanning some five decades, with many later releases bearing his stamp on the rear wrapper as a method to prevent the production of unauthorized copies. From the library of Max Maven.
Maven made a point of never presenting the same lecture twice and producing a new set of notes for each seminar he delivered. He designed and printed most of these works himself.
