MINT Index, Contents, Bibliography by Wesley James

Almost as challenging as reading all the card and coin material Ed Marlo packed into the 22 years of M.I.N.T. (1963-1985), is locating specific pieces of material when you want to study or review them. You certainly aren't going to learn it all in one sitting. Moreover, both Ed and Wesley liberally reference the works of other authors and their published material. With the Annotated M.I.N.T. series now complete in 14 volumes, this 15th volume will make it far easier to locate any Ed Marlo or Wesley James material from the series, as well as other referenced Indexed contributors to magic's literature. That's why this volume was created. It might have been possible to create an alphabetical list of the contents of the 14 volumes, but such a listing would be nearly impossible to use. The multiple pages of Contents and Index for each volume is as close to solving the problem as is practical.

If you already own MINT III through VI, and all or part of the Annotated M.I.N.T. 1963 through 1979 (10 volumes), you'll now be able to access the material within those volumes more quickly and easily and combined with the included PDF Bookmarks you'll be able to search all 14 Marlo In New Tops volumes with this one volume. It's far quicker and easier to search in one volume than 14. Whether searching the Tables of Contents, the Indexes or the Bibliographies, you'll find it far faster than opening each of the 14 files individually. If you're a serious student of Marlo's material, or Wesley's, or both, as all close-up performers should be, you will find yourself referring to this volume more often than you'd expect. Some will find it invaluable.

This is the final book of the series, but Wesley wanted to make it as easy as possible to locate the material in the full 14 volume run, identify the amazingly prolific output and recognize the various sources that have fed and been inspired by Ed and Wesley's work. If you haven't examined all the material in these volumes, you'll be surprised and impressed by the mix of older Marlo material and Wesley's insightful Notes and cutting-edge creations. Thanks to Ed Marlo and Wesley James the Annotated M.I.N.T Contents, Bibliography and Index is here for you now in this 125+ page volume.

For those that already own or purchase all 14 volumes, this volume will be free. For those that have gaps in their collection, this volume will allow you to identify the items you're missing and explore the titles of those items and Wesley's related Bonus material. This can make it easier to decide which volumes you next want to acquire. For those individuals, this volume, when purchased separately, is $30.
