Taylor, B. A. and others. The book contains an impressive collection of information on cards, the tools of magic, and prognostication, covering topics like the history of playing cards, Tarot, and the ancient Roma people's use of cards for divination, as well as how playing cards spread throughout South and East Asia, the Middle East, and Western Europe, particularly in France and England. It also discusses gambling, fortune-telling, sleight of hand, and the application of cards in various scientific fields.

The spine shows gold gilt lettering reading, "The History of Playing Cards and Their Use In Conjuring and Card-Sharping". The book shows wear from its age and use over the years with worn corners and shelf wear. The spine is still tightly bound and no obvious signs of damage are present.
