    Description

    THE EXPERT AT THE CARD TABLE
    by Erdnase including “Critical Comments” by Professor Hoffmann
    Very Good Condition
    Blue Cloth with Gilt Stamp
    Sometime in 1942, Charles Powner of Chicago issued versions of The Expert. One included a cheap paperback with the King of Hearts cover. Another, however, was the first cloth covered edition produced in over twenty-five years. Published in conjunction with the Paul Fleming book company, the cloth-bound 1944 Powner edition contained the “Critical Comments” by Professor Hoffmann that originally appeared in The Magic Wand. Curiously, the 1944 paperbound Powner lists the Hoffmann comments on the title page, though they are not actually included at the rear of the book.
