Each is a single sheet of 17" X 11" paper folded in half comprising 4 pages. Attractive hand-made design with a varying Phoenix theme and hand-lettering. Some issues show rubbing and creasing but on the whole they're G-VG.

One trick uses duplicate issues of Astounding Science Fiction Magazine (rebound with various covers) for a mind-reading trick. A great read for the hobbiest and an interesting period piece
