Two years before John Novak's 8-volume "Art of Escape" (1979) series was published...
In his Oct. 1977 issue of "Escape!", he advertised a 78pp. book entitled: "An Act of Escape! Nothing on Earth Can Hold Houdini a Prisoner". It sold for $15.00. It's sort of a 1-volume compliation of his future "Art of Escape" series. I have Copy #1, which John inscribed to me. I wonder if any of the other "older escape guys" on this Forum - ordered the book too? I am curious how many copies were published. |

Now your just showing off. If you send it to me I will authenticate it for you.
I would also add any book you need signing from the author..... I can get that done for you (I'll even spell the authors name right!). ;) wink And Ken this question seems to be aimed at you |

I actually have a copy, but I doubt yours is authentic. The only way to truly see is to expose it to the flourescent bulb in a photocopier. Please ship it to me immediatley and I will send it back after authentication.

Now really ....ask some folks round here... You don't want to be thinking like me ...... Not a great mind I'm afraid. Excellent body, looks and erm ... You know what
Oh and really efficient packaging to keep it in . Lots of padding so it doesn't get damaged. |

Dave I have non-verbal learning disability. It's a new thing which is all the rage and much cooler than dyslexia. In any case, I think your mind is fine. Just because we're different doesn't mean we're worse.
