A True Story:

Back when Ed started collecting he befriended H. Adrian Smith, then current Dean of the Society of American Magicians. At the time, Harold as he was known to his friends, had the largest magic library in the world. Often Harold was a dinner guest at our house and as usual after our meal “the boys” would discuss magic and collecting.

Harold’s plan for his books and ephemera was to donate it all to his alma mater, Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. As we all know that’s what happened to his collection.

Ed on the other hand disagreed with Harold’s plan and said that when the time came for him to dissolve his library he wanted everything to be sold; so that other collectors could enjoy what he had amassed.

Ed felt that the heart of collecting was the chase, looking for that special piece to add to his collection, then upon attaining that piece, especially a book, to hold it in his hands, to study and read it in part or whole and to share his love of his newest acquisition with family and friends.

Ed would be thrilled to know that his wish was being carried out with this auction. Danielle, David and I talked a lot about what to do with “everything” after Ed’s death and we are also thrilled that Haversat-Ewing Auctions is making Ed’s wish come true.
