[HARBIN BOOK ? PIRATED EDITION] Harbin, Robert (Ned Williams, 1908 - 78). Magic of Robert Harbin. [Mexico City: Al Mann, n.d.]. A counterfeit copy (see note below). Smooth dark green cloth stamped in gold. Illustrated. 4to. Spine chipping, else good. As demand for copies of this book grew in the 1970s, Al Mann, likely in collaboration with Craige Snader, produced an unknown quantity of this counterfeit edition. Several points distinguish this pirated version from those published by Harbin. The ersatz edition is of distinctly poorer quality in nearly every respect than the original, and includes a ribbon page marker not present in the authorized publication. See previous lot.
