So, we have a thread about our top ten favorite magic books and these often change. But I thought it would be a blast to name 5 or 10 books you do NOT have that you REALLY want.

Mine are:

Star Quality: The Magic of David Regal. (I have given up hope on this one)

The Complete Walton (I really do not like you Kyle LOL)

Mr. Jennings Takes it Easy (Yes I KNOW it isn't published yet, but after 4 years waiting, I am about to give up)

Modus Operandi

Harry Lorayne's upcoming book which unlike the Jennings book WILL be published!

Mr. Kaufman, I am AGING here sir! Will the Jennings book(s) ever be published? Do you accept bribes????

I am going to be in a bloody nursing home and as addle pated as they come by the time this thing MIGHT be published

Ahimsa,
Vlad

I'm lucky enough to have all the books I want for now.
But of course I want Mr Jennings Takes it Easy if the book EVER comes out.

Man I have practically every book that you guys want. I'd make a killing if I put them up for sale.

I'm very impatiently waiting for Negromicon Plus by Tony Andruzzi to be published by Viking Magic

Peo,

A pity that wagering is not allowed on The Café. Furthermore it is a GREATER pity that we cannot bribe Richard Kaufman into getting this baby done. But if the Mayans are right then it won't matter either way

Ahimsa,
Vlad

Strong Magic-Darwin Ortiz.

The Fine Art of Magic-George Kaplan

Like Peo, I have all the books I want, as of now anyway...I definitely want the forthcoming "Magic Rainbow" and "Flamanco" from Juan Tamariz.
