Escape obscurity at the Harry Ransom Center

The Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin, which holds the largest public archive of Houdini material in the world, has added Escaping Obscurity: The Travel Diary of Harry Houdini 1897-1899 to its collection. I like to think the Harry Ransom Center is pretty discerning about what it brings into its world-class collection, so this is an honor. Also, if you live in the Austin area and can't afford the book, here's a great way to still use it in your studies. Just click below.

Of course, you can purchase Escaping Obscurity: The Travel Diary of Harry Houdini, 1897-1899 for your own library at Mike Caveney's Magic Words.
