Super collector Kevin Connolly has posted on his blog a recent acquisition which, according to Kevin, "may be one the most significant Houdini finds in years, maybe decades." It's a book, commissioned by Houdini, that contains all the documentation related to his famous slander trial in Cologne, Germany in 1902.
Says Kevin, "This item hasn’t been seen in many, many years and most Houdini collectors and historians don’t even know of its' existence. I’ve been tracking in down, on and off, for about 30 years."
