"Harold Adrian Smith was an inveterate bibliophile, bibliographer, and a world-renowned authority on the history and literature of the conjuror's art. During his long and productive life he carefully collected and organized books, pamphlets, and other historic materials related to the art of magic. H. Adrian Smith's library was recognized as one of the finest privately owned collections in the world. He gave his extraordinary collection to Brown University's John Hay Library where qualified and interested researchers will benefit from his lifelong efforts. "On February 9, 1986, Dave Downs taped Smith during a personal tour of his conjuring library at Smith's home in North Attleboro, Massachusetts. It is Downs' belief that this personal tour will provide the collector with a glimpse into Smith's amazing collection while contributing to the preservation of his memory. "This DVD presents the first half of Smith's library tour. The New England Magic Collectors Association (NEMCA) looks forward to offering the second half at a future date. "H. Adrian Smith's contributions to magic were legion. He was a performer, writer, inventor, and national leader as well as an authority on early conjuring literature."
