Early Vernon: The Magic of Dai Vernon in 1932. Readers of the original Vernon Twenty Dollar Manuscript probably wondered who F.W.R was and what he looked like. The identity of Fawcett W. Ross has slowly come to light, as no subsequent book of Dai's has been published without credit lines. In the first two manuscripts, it definitely was F.W.R.'s guiding hand that lead trick to paper. Included in this publication is a picture of F.W.R. In 1961, Vernon and Ross got together and the results are in this edition. 72 Pages Paperbound 1962
