About This Item
Rare and early book on Ventriloquism (part of the larger category of Magic and Illusion Performance) in Scarce Dust Jacket! This is the first dust jacket on a book I have seen from before 1910 outside of a book fair or a prestigious collection.
Ventriloquism by Charles H. Olin Hardcover First Edition - First Printing Penn Publishing 1906. Contains several photographs, diagrams, and even an example of a dialogue between the ventriloquist and two dummies! Near Fine+ in Very Good+ Dustjacket! A very tight copy, most pages very clean, in scarce dust jacket! You just don't find books with their original dust jackets from prior to 1910 very often! Essentially complete, very slight edgewear to the top of spine and top edge, otherwise complete and intact! I could find very few examples of this book on WorldCat, and none for sale of the first edition, although some later edition copies are available. However, this may be the ONLY copy surviving in its original dust jacket, or at least one of very few. Probably the only which will be available in the next several years. If this doesn't sell here, I may take it to an antiquarian bookseller who will probably ask much more. Don't hesitate.
All modern books with dust jackets come with dust jacket covers.
Book will be separately bubble-wrapped and placed in either a flat-rate mailer or a box.
