Bobo, J.B. Modern Coin Magic and The New Modern Coin Magic. Two Inscribed Association Copies. Including a first edition (Carl Waring Jones, 1952) and the revised edition (Magic, Inc., 1966). Both bound in cloth with jackets and copiously illustrated by Nelson Hahne. The former inscribed and signed by J.B. Bobo to the book’s editor, John Braun; and the latter inscribed and signed by Braun to Ken Klosterman. Tall 8vos, both bearing the bookplates of their former owners, and in near fine condition. While Braun is credited as the editor of this classic treatise on conjuring with currency, his inscription in the revised edition, offered here, is revealing as to the level of involvement he had in the project: “May you enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed writing it!” Bobo’s inscription in the first edition is equally revealing, “To my friend John Braun, without whose help this book could not have been written.”
