Old Jokes is operated by me, Philip David Treece. I'm a bookseller and publisher by trade and I run the magic bookshop CollectingMagicBooks.com. I also write about the history of magic, joke shops and the novelty industry. My blog, CollectingMagic.co.uk, has many articles on this world and the unusual people behind it.
