Hello all,

I just thought I would make a new topic to get my question out

I have a quetion:

Is it worth investing in Paul Curry World's Beyond rather than buying a couple or more other GREAT magic books> ?

Like for instance, Secrets of Bro Hamman, Expert Coin Technique, John Bannon books...etc.

Thanks so much!!

Tanner

I believe Curry's book has a higher price based on its condition of OOP, not on the magic content. (Very subjective concept)
Therefore unless you really value owning an OOP book, I'll buy any other/s books that have a more competitive pricing (Roth, Hamman, etc.).

Hope this helps.

I personally feel that the Roth and Hamman books are great and well worth the price they are selling for now (i mean the reprinted versions of course)

A combination of the above two posts sums up my feelings, precisely. To be fair, I should probably note that I am not much of a Curry fan (other than a few effects), whereas I am a big fan of Hamman, Roth and Bannon.

Great guys, thanks A LOT for the quick feedback

Magically,

Tanner Jade

Personally, if you had the money, I would get Currys book. Its a great book that is hard to get hold of. The other books have just been reprinted and are available in most places

A few "high priced" books are that way because of limited runs and sale top a very few professionals. These OFTEN have things not available in other cheaper tomes.

Other times - and before the net's ascention - limited runs and collector's autographed copies that have been more momento than resource -- have been run-up in price by collectors.

I tend to get "reading" copies for use UNLESS I know there is limited knowledge in a limited edition piece that I will use.

A good advisor for that is Andy Greget at his booklists business (not on the net.)
