"The multitalented Ricky Jay (sleight-of-hand artist, actor, author, and scholar of the unusual) wrote and published a unique and beautifully designed quarterly called Jay's Journal of Anomalies. Already coveted collector's items, the sixteen issues are now gathered here in a complete set, with significant new material and illustrations.
A brilliant excursion into the history of bizarre entertainments, the journal was described in The New York Times as "beautiful and elegant ... a combination of rigorous scholarship and personal rumination.""--BOOK JACKET.
