TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE

The Table of Contents is placed after the Preface.

This book contains illustrations showing some of the tricks described. The illustrations are available in the HTML version. In this text-only version they are replaced by the place-holder "[Illustration]", but in the section "Match Puzzles", some simple ASCII diagrams have been created to represent the matches when possible.

In the text-only version, italic type is marked _like this_, and bold face *like this*. Footnotes are represented with uppercase letters in square brackets.

Two publisher's advertisement pages were placed at the beginning of the book in the printed edition, in this version they have been moved to the end, with the other advertisement pages.

A list of changes to the original publication is given at the end.
