TV DOVE CLASSICS      staple bound 8.5 x 11 inch   FIRST EDITION 1959

This excellent guide to essential dove magic knowledge is still available in reprints for about $5.    But if you enjoy having first editions of magic booklets of important magic books, here is a nice example of the first edition of  Kirk Kirkham's 1959 booklet. 

Unlike the smaller format reprints of this book, this one is 8.5 x 11 inch pages, each printed on one side.  The text was typewritten for publication, so not as "clean" looking as in typeset reprints, but still easy to read in the larger size.

 Covers classics like gloves to dove, plus tips on handling and even dye-ing your doves different colors.  Cane to Dove, body loads, and apparatus are also covered.   32 pages.  

Look at the photos of table of contents and/or page shots to get an idea of style and format.

I could not find this edition available in my online search, but I'll put it out at the price I would pay to keep it in my own library  :-)   

(If the first edition is not important to you, but you would like to learn Dove magic, check our other listings for the 1980's reprint of this book)

CONDITION NOTES: previously owned, but in excellent condition, -- all pages are intact, clean and unmarked.  No tears.   The back cover has an address sticker of a previous owner, and on the front cover  there is a crescent-shaped dark stain (like from a coffee cup or something -- across the magician's legs -- look closely at the cover photo and you may see it)



MOST BOOKS WILL BE SENT MEDIA MAIL TO U.S. ADDRESSES -- FOR MULTIPLE LOTS IN ONE SHIPMENT, YOU CAN FIGURE ONE FULL SHIPPING CHARGE, AND THEN ABOUT ONE DOLLAR EXTRA PER ADDITIONAL BOOK, BUT PROBABLY LESS, THE MORE BOOKS IN THE BOX!   I AM HAPPY TO HOLD FOR COMBINED SHIPMENTS WITH OTHER BOOKS AND DVDs IF YOU ARE STILL BIDDING/SHOPPING -- JUST LET ME KNOW.     (SORRY BUT I CANNOT MIX NON-MEDIA PRODUCT INTO MEDIA SHIPMENTS, SO IF YOU BUY TRICKS, THEY MUST SHIP SEPARATELY FROM BOOKS AND DVDs)

NON-US BIDDERS -- NO MEDIA MAIL OPTION TO OTHER COUNTRIES.     I WILL DO MY BEST TO KEEP POSTAGE AS LOW AS POSSIBLE, BUT BOOKS ARE HEAVY AND US POSTAL RATES TO OTHER COUNTRIES ARE VERY HIGH -- they just went up again!    MESSAGE ME IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT MULTIPLE LOT SHIPPING RATES.    I CAN TELL YOU HOW MUCH YOUR TOTAL POSTAGE WILL BE IF YOU LET ME KNOW WHICH BOOKS YOU ARE INTERESTED IN.


THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF THE MAGIC GADGET SITE
