LINK: Joe Notaro reviews Escaping Obscurity

The first review of Escaping Obscurity: The Travel Diary of Harry Houdini, 1897-1899, is up on Joe Notaro's excellent blog Harry Houdini Circumstantial Evidence. Just click the headline above to read.

Joe has published several very important Houdini books himself. You can check those out in the related links below.

If you post a review of Escaping Obscurity on your website, please send it my way and I will share it here. Even the bad ones! (Well, not too bad.)

Thank you, Joe.

    7. This made me laugh so hard Leo! The B-52’s are great!
      Just hope the package doesn’t get turned into tots with the power of Napoleon Dynamite’s sick moves!
      Gimme your tots! 😂 - Abby Martin

    1. It is big! And heavy.
      I don't know how many are left. I think that's info Mike keeps to himself. But I think there's still a healthy stock. If Mike tells me we're running low, I will let folks know.
