Years ago I would show up every Saturday at the Toronto Round Table.
Tom Ransom was a regular and always had a case full of gently used books for sale at good prices. No tax, no shipping etc. This was a good way for me to build my library at a young age.

Hey gents,
Just picked up Mr. Jennings Takes it Easy and Eugene Burger's Final Secrets.

Hey Fish and all,
I picked up the Books of Wonder for black friday, so pretty excited about that. Also just grabbed Dyment's Calculating Thoughts on a bit of an impulse.
Anyone else doing some shopping? How are all you Canadians making out these days? Did everyone finish reading all the books they grabbed LAST black friday??

Hey Wordsworth, I hope you enjoy the books of Wonder.

Hey guys just received my copy of Magicana- the Charlie Miller book.
Very excited.

Hi fellow MagiCans, to ring in the new year I've added several used and rare books for sale online, and I've also significantly lowered prices on many others:

Dear Mr Fantasy John Bannon

At Blackpool Magic Convention this year Mel Harvey had a copy of 'This Way Up' for sale...I did let a few people know about it, so I'm not sure if it is still available, but may be worth a try

Cheers,

Paul

Hey Paul:
appreciate your thoughts
Hope you had a wonderful convention
Bruce

Yes, I agree with you, I also like his flight of thought

Hey fellas, recently purchased Calculated Thoughts by Doug Dyment.

Just picked up a lovely little hardbound edition of Party Games and Amusements for Young and Old published by Foulsham.
Red boards, nice paper, tight binding.
Delightful little book.

...and I'm the proud new owner of Freedom of Expression by DaOrtiz.

Hi all,

Torontonian (though Belgian born & raised) here, back to magic after a long hiatus.

My latest purchases are Designing Miracles (loved Strong Magic!), Calculated Thoughts, Mr Jennings Takes It Easy & The Definitive Mental Mysteries of Hector Chadwick.

On my wish list is The Magic Rainbow, likely my next purchase once I am caught up.

Oh, also looking for a reasonably priced copy of The Card Magic of Nick Trost.

Hi Dragon, glad your back in magic.
Some great books you've listed there!
How are you liking the Chadwick book?
I'm really loving Calculated Thoughts.

I am enjoying both the content and the tongue in the cheek writing style. The essay on equivocation was especially enlightening.



Same here.

Welcome Dragonlore. I'm in Toronto too.
