Two great magic history books by Milbourne Christopher The Illustrated History of Magic - Robert Hale 1975 (first GB edition). This is a lovely hard back volume lavishly illustrated and in supr condition. Panorama of Magic - Dover Publications 1962. This is a paperback book and has some staining to cover, edges of pages - see photos for more detail. Shelf rubbing to cover but still a nice tight copy. Do have a look at my other magic items.
