THE SECRET DOMAIN OF DR. RAMAYNE
A Tribute to Robert A. Nelson

BIBLIOGRAPHY

Below is a partial listing of books and manuscripts written and/or published by Bob Nelson. The dates of publication are approximate, and based on their appearance in the Nelson catalogs I have access to.

Many people in the trade have read at least one Nelson book (usually "Art of Cold Reading") and been put off by the dated nature of Bob's writing. Considering that little was written about the profession prior to the 1920s, you still have to give him credit for writing a small library on the subject over the course of 35 years.

And for those who are willing to look past the occasional stale bits of history, there is still some sound philosophy to learn from.

Many of the titles can still be found at the Hades Publications website:
