TOM OSBORNE, Cups and Balls Magic, KANTNER edition from 1937

60 page softbound booklet 

This is an early edition of Tom Osborne's classic text.   Published in 1937, this C&B teach-in by Tom Osborne is surprisingly thorough and valuable to anyone wanting to learn the Cups and Balls, or to add a few more nuances and magical moments to their existing C&B routine.

This book has been reprinted many times over the years, and recent reprints are readily available -- you can find the reprint for sale right here in our ebay store!   But this 1937 Kantner edition is a neat find for those who enjoy having early editions of important magical texts.  I list it as "fair condition", mostly because of the edge/corner damage to the cover.  The inside pages are in excellent condition, clean and unmarked.   

Look at the table of contents (photo) to see what I mean.   The topics are well explained in text and clear illustrations.

If the cover was in better condition, this great book would fetch $25 or more.  But of course I will price it much lower than that.
