Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series:

This subseries primarily contains catalogs from dealers in magic supplies and magic books, including a small number of catalogs from dealers in Canada, Germany, and other foreign countries. Folders of magic dealers’ catalogs also include individual price sheets, catalog updates, and special offers from said dealers. Note that some larger magic dealers’ catalogs are individually bound; these are shelved separately, but are referenced in the folder list below.

In addition to catalogs, this subseries contains some information about magic shops, promotional material for new magic books and periodicals, as well as lists and catalogs from book stores and auction houses hosting sales in magic-related items.

One folder at the end of the subseries contains booklets and other short publications on a variety of magic-related topics, including magic novelties and games, magicians, and book collecting.
