Marco's Comments:
This is a "home bound" collection of 5 booklets, sold originally as a course in improving own personality. Similar courses are still sold nowadays. The part about hypnotism is quite good, as it describes some experiments that would give immediate success (but aren't - of course - "real" hypnotism), while the "mind reading" part has some good experiments on muscle reading, among which one I never heard about: to open a safe while holding the owner's hand. The book is not exactly in a great condition, but I would not re-bind it.
