    "The response to Escaping Obscurity - The Travel Diary of Harry Houdini, 1897-1899 has been unbelievable."

    I'm not surprised. We haven't had a serious meat and potatoes Houdini book in a while.

      Yes, I was happy to see that. Mike's been at FISM, so we haven't talked in a while. I'm eager to know how sales are.

      Hopefully I’ll be finished by then. I got a deluxe edition and I’m only up to page 35. BTW ordered it the first day still got a number in the 80s. Doesn’t matter to me, but they went fast.
      Thought the eBay book would go for more? I bid but missed the ending.
