Shopping: A Bargain Book on Magic at The Works

Here's a bargain book I spotted at The Works yesterday: The History of Magic by Chris Gosden paperback edition for just £4. Chris is a serious academic and knows his stuff. I went to a scholarly conference on ancient magic at UCL a few years ago where Chris talked about definitions of the subject. Here's the link to a blog post I wrote about it: http://www.badwitch.co.uk/2019/01/chris-gosden-brief-description-of-magic.html

I'd suggest The History of Magic is worth looking at and certainly worth a punt at £4, which is a big reduction on the RRP. 

I photographed copies on the shelves of The Works in Eastbourne, but if your local branch doesn't have it in stock you can order it online here: https://www.theworks.co.uk/p/history-books/the-history-of-magic/9780241997871.html
