Marco's Comments:
Two books set, one the "autobography" of Houdini, compiled from material actually written by Houdini. The second volume contains description of tricks (escapes) persormed by Houdini, and some of this material is really interesting. Unfortunately, the pages in this second volume were stuck together due perhaps to humidity or too much ink.
For the price, the books could have been been better produced, with better paper and better quality photographic reproductions.
