Hi guys,
What do you think about this book? I did some research in the forum but nothing came up, so does someone own this book and could tell me more about it? Thanks in advance. |

Brilliant book.
Unfortunately some of sources not complete. If I know well on English was 3 different translations of "Les Tricheries des Grecs Devoilees" and "Essential Robert-Houdin" use not that variant where last three chapters what were added by Robert-Houdin on 1863. Also, Memoirs on English was translated not full. Most missing - XVII chapter. On 1932 Haydn try translate it but as I know - not complete again. S. H. SHARPE try find all missed parts - but again not complete. But looks on "Essential Robert-Houdin" just standard Wraxall translation without Haydn and Sharpe. So, Bartolomeo Bosco still "birds killer".

It's an attractive and affordable package of previously available Robert-Houdin material......but it's been gathered into one place, and presented in typical Todd Karr fashion....which is to say beautifully.
You can't go wrong if you're looking for material on Robert-Houdin and don't already own the individual sources of material the book is composed of. |
