Marco's Comments:
Collection of all articles written by Vernon in Genii - his long-standing column. An impressive number of photos, many of which unpublished, throughout. A very nice book that gives easy access to all his columns (although they are not all of the same quality). The problem with this book is that it's excessively ripetitive: Vernon repeats every month the same stories and comes out with the same lists of dead magicians. Then, the book reads like a blog: I went to this convention, at the Castle I saw this and that, this (your favourite magician here) is the greatest I've ever seen, etc. A waste of paper to have this book reprinted and a waste of time to read it.
