Marco's Comments:
From the "Salon de Magie" auction, lot 308, 29 Oct. 2011. Booklet which describes the Rare Book Division from the Library of Congress, including a page and half on the magic collection, with the Houdini and MacManus libraries. The book contains a photo of Hofzinser's card rise box, which is probably the first published photo of the item. Interesting for an historical perspective.
