Jarrett, Guy. Jarrett Magic and Stage Craft Technical. [New York]: Author, 1936. First edition. Blue cloth stamped in black. Numerous full-page plates with diagrams of stage illusions and plans, reproducing letters, and other illustrations. 8vo. Shaken, backstrip rubbed, small ownership stamp to ffep, a few pencil notations. Jarrett printed approximately 500 copies of his magnum opus on a table-top hand press, writing the text as he set the type; he only owned enough letterforms to compose one page at a time. Then Jarrett collated, bound, advertised, and sold the books himself. The book remains a testament to Jarrett's true genius. He was an original thinker, and many of his revolutionary ideas remain in use in the modern era.
