Revelation - Dai Vernon
Product Description
It's not what you think.
This is not a reprint of our 1984 edition of Revelations, Dai Vernon�s legendary annotations for The Expert at the Card Table by S.W. Erdnase.
This new, over-size book was triggered by the discovery of more than 160 long-lost photographs of Dai Vernon�s hands that were taken in 1961 specifically to illustrate this manuscript. It is as close as you will ever get to a personal session with the Professor.
Includes:
A facsimile reproduction of the entire, original typed Revelation manuscript.
The entire text of The Expert at the Card Table with Vernon�s annotations inserted at the appropriate places illustrated with the newly discovered photos.
Plus more than 100 pages of added material including Vernon�s explanation (with photos) of Topping the Deck, Walter Scott�s Second Deal and Double Belly Cut, the Ping Pong Shift, The Hop, Allen Kennedy�s legendary Center Deal and more.
392 over-size pages with a beautiful dustjacket. The book itself measures 9 by 11.5 inches with 392 pages and a beautiful dustjacket designed by Michael Albright. The book is bound in green cloth and stamped with copper foil.

SPECIAL REGULAR EDITION:
The 150 copies of the DELUXE EDITION sold out in four days but because of a problem with the slipcases, we ended up with 150 extra slipcases. The original slipcases would not fit the leather-bound deluxe edition, but (after removing two leather tabs inside the slipcase) they did hold a regular edition without the dust jacket. Because of all the people who were disappointed after missing out on the deluxe edition, we decided to create this SPECIAL REGULAR EDITION.
