New York: Harper & Brothers. 1958. First Edition. Hard Cover. 250 pages, cloth, dust jacket frayed and chipped, otherwise very good. Clipping attached to back endpaper 'Houdini come back - yes or no' by Kenneth Weston Turner. An excerpt from the article: 'Arthur Ford, America's outstanding medium, brought this meesage out in full in late 1928 and sent the code to Mrs. Harry Houdini. A few days later Mrs. Houdini wrote a statement that the code, message and sequence, were correct. The facsimile of this letter may be found in the book Nothing So Strange. . . Harry Houdini had at last kept his word in his message to Arthur Ford.' From the dj, 'The story of Arthur Ford related here reveals the amazing spiritual and psychic gifts of a man whose outwzrd life was not otherwise particularly remarkable. It is a genuine collaboration, as a medium cannot actually write his own full story for he does not know what goes on in his own trance, nor can he enter into spontaneous discussion with his unseen colleagues. Margueritte Harmon Bro, Mr. Ford's collaborator, is not only a skilled questioner and a meticulous recorder but she is able to present in simple unornamented prose those episodes of Arthur Ford's life which best portray the development of his powers andwhich highlight his contention that everyone is psychic, at least latently.'; Signed by Author . more information

New York: Atheneum,. 1978. Hard Cover. 0689306334 . Illustrated with old engravings and paintings. From the dj: The Salem witchcraft hysteria has been studied often, but few people have looked at the number of women involved and asked why. Salem was not the beginning. . . Using legends, myth, folklore, history, politics, and common sense, Selma Williams shows that from the late Middle Ages until the time of the Salem trials, men used the threat of witchcraft as a way of keeping women from power and from reaping the rewards of their own labors. When men were most fearful of the future, accusations of witchcraft against women were most likely to appear. To examine the historical association of women and witchcraft is to see most clearly the social focus that through the centuries has condemned women to ignorance and dependency. . more information
