TASCHEN (who make some of the best art books in the world) has just printed a 600+ page book on the artwork of magic. I had a chance to leaf through a copy at the store… and it’s gorgeous!!!

Inside are hundreds and hundreds of full-color reproductions of advertising materials, playbills, stone lithographs, and posters of the greatest magicians in history. As is always the case with TASCHEN, the artwork is reproduced flawlessly. Older items are lovingly restored, and the accompanying articles (printed in English, German & French) are a joy to read.

The book weighs as much as the coffee table it will sit on, and the price of $200 is well worth it. I’m SO going to get this ASAP!
