E Books

We have published many good Magic books over 40 years. Some of these are no longer in print, and some sell at exorbitant prices. We continue to get requests for some of these books.

We are now delighted to bring you many of these publications in collaboration with Chris Wasshuber of Lybrary.com, as eBooks, which you can instantly download and read (or even print out if you wish) at a very modest cost. And we hope to include some new publications, never in print before.

eBooks have several advantages over the print publications :

  • * No space on the shelf, and no tons of paper to store or carry – you can fit 1000s of eBooks on a memory stick or micro SD card, and carry around with you where ever you wish. Or you can have a library of 1000s of eBooks on a portable device like an eBook reader, smart phone or tablet like the iPad.
  • * At one time eBooks were not as popular because of the portability factor. One had to read them on a computer. Today with the several dedicated readers, plus devices like smart phones and tablets like the iPad, they are far more convenient and portable than print editions. Read them when you travel, read them in bed, or in the toilet – and you can fit several 100s of these in a smart phone to carry in your pocket.
  • * eBooks are for ever. No loss, or aging. These books will not yellow or perish with age. And thanks to the digital shelf facility of Lybrary.com, these books are always available to you 24×7 for instant download if your computer should crash, or you should lose your downloads.
  • * Low price, due to the savings in producing, storing, and distributing hard copies. Most of these eBooks are now available to you for less than the cost of first class postage of the hard editions.
  • * Instant availability. You can download these books immediately, if you have a computer ot other device with an internet connection. No waiting, – no loss or damage in transit.
  • * Extreme system portability. As these are all in the universal PDF (Portable Document Format), you can read them on all computer systems, smartphones, Tablet PCs etc. regardless of the Operating System. All popular systems have readers for this format.

If you love books, this is the way to go. You cannot get a better deal.
And when you visit Lybrary.com you will find 100s of titles of interest, besides those listed below.
