Just was looking for more books to read. I'm looking for either books about magic history or old magic books that are more interesting because of the time they were written rather than the methods described inside.

Books I already have:
-Magic 1400s-1950s
-Magic Stage Illusions, Special Effects, and Trick Photography
-Expert at the Card Table

Books I already know about but don't own:
-Hoffman's Modern Magic series
-The Secrets of Conjuring and Witchcraft
-the Discoverie of Witchcraft

That's all I can think of. Any other recommendations?
