This is Dr. Jeffrey Pearson's Private Estate item in Poor Condition.

Both the original dust jacket and the hardcover book have extreme water damage and mold around the top half of the book and along the edges of the pages as well.

Hermatic Press Copyright 1999 

This hardcover book (253 pages, photo-illustrated by Leslie Davis-Regal), is currently in its third printing, and filled with powerful close-up magic, including the entire act David did at The Magic Castle in the 90s. Published in 1999, it was one of the best-reviewed (and best-selling) books of that year.
