Eric Colleary talks Houdini's Library, Oct 28

Our good friend Dr. Eric Colleary, Cline Curator of Theatre and Performing Arts at the Harry Ransom Center, will discuss his new book, Houdini's Library, during a FREE online presentation at Untapped Cities this Wednesday, October 28, at 6 PM ET. Click the image below for details and to register.

For my money, Houdini's Library is THE must-buy Houdini book in a year filled with great Houdini books. It's meticulously researched, expertly written, and beautifully designed. It's also a serious work that truly provides new insight into Houdini. It's certainly the book Houdini would be most pleased with, as his collections meant so much to him. And the number of unseen images is breathtaking.

You can pre-order Houdini's Library on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. The HRC exhibition, Houdini's Library, is on show now through January 24, 2027.

Thanks to Leo Hevia for the alert.
