Jay, Ricky | His own set of his eponymous journal

Jay, Ricky

Jay's Journal of Anomalies. Los Angeles: W & V Dailey, 1994-2000

Unbound letterpress pamphlets (285 x 215 mm). Printed on Rives Heavyweight paper, with numerous engravings, tipped-in color plates, and illustrations; one tiny spot to the wrapper of Volume 4, Number 2, otherwise fine.

Ricky Jay's own set of a complete run of his eponymous quarterly periodical, in pristine condition. The journal covers a number of treasures from Jay's archive, including remarkable characters, circus shows, conjurers, and illusions. Further, it reveals his commitment to the print medium: the periodical is striking and handsomely made—undeniably a labor of love.
