The Collection of Burton Sperber
Burton Sperber assembled what was, unquestionably, one of the finest libraries of books on conjuring and the allied arts in the world, including everything from the first major work in English to describe magic tricks, Scot's Discoverie of Witchcraft (1584), to modern rarities. The auction of his collection featured Sperber's world class assemblages of magic-themed trade cards, wee books, tokens & mirrors, and more.
