All kinds of interesting and uninteresting but time consuming things have been going on lately, so pardon my absence.
The Secret Life of Houdini - by Kalush and Sloman
Houdini as spy. His life, his love, and what may have been his real job. Fascinating. More info and footnotes at : www.conjuringarts.org .
Actually I just picked up the book to begin with because I thought it was a bio of Houdini and I think he's cool.
