Encyclopedia of Card Tricks was based on two volumes compiled by Doctor Wilhelm von Deusen in collaboration with Glenn G. Gravatt (in fact Dr. Wilhelm von Deusen was a speudo of Gravatt) under the titles Encyclopedia of Self-working Card Tricks and The Second Encyclopedia of Card Tricks (1936). They were originally mimeographed on large pages and sold for ten dollars, selling over eight hundred copies.
Jean Hugard completely rewrote and added more tricks (also leaving some intricate slight of hand routines out). The Associate Editor was John J. Crimmins, Jr. and it was illustrated by Nelson C. Hahne.
There is an introduction by Ted Annemann that addresses claiming ownership of tricks and how Mr. Holden thought permission from all known originators of the effects included.
