Random I-Tunes Song of The Moment: At This Moment By Billy Vera and The Beaters

If you're an Erdnase Junkie like me, you'll love this book. It's essentially a compilation of essays by various authors planting their flag in the I-know-the-identity-of-Erdnase camp.

The book itself is very well made, softbound, and about 80 pages rich with black and white photos of everything from newspaper ads from Erdnase to pictures of the gaggle of golden age landmarks of the day. Included is also an excellent article about the various editions of the famous folio that has brought ruled the life of our late beloved Professor.

There's really not much else to say. Simply put, the subject matter is incredibly intriguing. The text is well written. The book itself is pristinely produced. If you care at all about card magic and/or magic history this is a must read.

Frankly, there is a very compelling argument to be made regarding who Erdnase was. I'm pretty convinced that the authors of the essays in this book have cracked the case. I let you decide.

Final Verdict:
4 Stars with a Stone Status of Gem.
