Oh, what Book is the best?

I have a contest for you. Here is my question for you. If you could only keep
two books
on the Cups and Balls &/or Chop Cup.
What would they be?
*Try and make sure you do not have the same book as someone else.
There are lots of books to pick from. We should have a really good list before too long. So, think hard.

Dai Vernon Book of Magic.
Schneider Classic Cups TL MPL. Get the darned videos too!
I kind of like the Mendoza stuff too . . .
But I am just a hack amateur. Matt, listen to the guys who do this for a living.

Good call on the Books of Wonder. I should have chosen that!

you people are not playing by the rules. Come up with new books to add to the list. All the book and ebooks out there and Matt has the only ones we need to have a great collection.
I just know all of you can come up with more books than that. ....right??

Hocus Pocus Junior, The Art of Legedemain Discovered by Steve Burton.
The Cups and Balls and Other Sleight of Hand from Hocus Pocus Junior by Bill Palmer.
Very good books that give a historical perspective on the Cups & Balls.
