Title: This Early Edition Is Hard To Find
Product review: After some threats from Uri Geller, this title was changed to "The Truth About Uri Geller." Geller sued Randi three times over what he said were misrepresentations-- he lost all three suits and Randi never paid him a dime. The book is a fascinating account of a second-string magician who turned himself into a worldwide celebrity by claiming he had actual psychic powers. While a gullible world gawped with credulity, professional magicians snickered behind their hands at his lies-- and Randi wrote this book, explaining all his "miraculous" feats in simple, no-nonsense terms. It's great fun, especially for younger folks who wonder what the fuss was about, since Geller is a much-reduced celeb these days.This edition is much rarer than it's subsequently-titled version, so grab it if you find it.
