The Eagle Book of Magic is certainly one of the rarer book from the range of Eagle
books. It has 15 press out and assemble models for the young magician to make. So, finding
a copy with all the models intact would be extremely rare. My copy has several pressed
out so is incomplete, but is still, nevertheless, a really interesting read. Had I received a
copy of this when I was young, I would have been jumping for joy !
