All magic historians and collectors have heard of Milbourne Christopher\'s legendary library, but few had the opportunity to examine the countless rarities it contained. Now you can leisurely study every bibliographic detail of his lifetime collection of rare conjuring books.
Volume I contains 160 pages and lists over 1,100 of Christopher\'s oldest titles (including foreign language) dating from 1589 to 1900. This out of print book is a collector\'s item and features 24 pages of photographic plates showing the covers or title pages of many of Christopher\'s most prized treasures.
The Milbourne Christopher Library Volume II contains 339 pages and includes over 3,000 entries dating from 1901 to 1996. Volume II also contains twenty-four pages of rare photographs depicting authors who are represented in Christopher’s library. Perusing these bibliographies is like having unlimited access to the shelves of Christopher’s famous collection, and they serve as a fitting testament to one of the world’s great collectors of magical literature.
During his career on the stage and television, Christopher shared his vast holdings with viewers and readers through his TV appearances and his books including The Illustrated History of Magic; Houdini, The Untold Story; ESP, Seers & Psychics; Mediums, Mystics & The Occult and Search For The Soul. His encyclopedic knowledge, enthusiasm, and performances inspired an entire generation of performers, scholars, and writers.
