Condition : rebacked, later endpapers. Provenance : Joseph Dunninger (1892-1975, bookplate) the “amazing dunninger’s” copy of this classic late 17th-century account of witches and witchcraft. Joseph Dunninger was the most famous magician/mentalist of his day. His radio shows in the thirties were very popular, to the extent that the results of a survey in the early 1940’s apparently proved that his voice was recognised by more people than the President’s.
