Actually, Derren self published his own ring bound editions, before the publisher made them. That is the first 'first' edition. That, or a fairly well made fake.

The ring bound one contains Reminisence and Lift, which were removed from later editions.

As far as Im aware, the first few of the first edition was indeed spiral bound, and also contained a couple of effects that were ommited from other copies. If its genuine, it'll be worth a fair bit.

theconjuror, why not pop over to introductions and tell us a bit about yourself

No worries Jim, good to have confirmation from two sources!

Indeed, the original first edition was spiral bound, included reminisance and lift, and goes for around £400-600 at ebay prices

I also have tarbell course books, signed by tarbell

by **theconjuror** » Nov 7th, '10, 22:12

yeah I'm trying to get rid of it, it may go up on ebay soon... (recession sucks)

Clearly I was not aware of this; thanks for the clarification.
So what we're saying is, I could photocopy the book, ring bind it, and claim it's a first edition? :lol:
