The largest work ever published on magic, let alone on the magic of one man. But Stewart James was a remarkable magician, as these three volumes attest. Volumes 1 and 2 of The James File contain nearly 1700 pages of Stewart James’s magic, most of it previously unpublished. The third volume presents Bill Goodwin’s astonishingly thorough 122-page index to all the material in The James File and in the earlier companion volume, Stewart James in Print : The First Fifty Years.Here are a few of the comments this stupendous work has inspired :
