World of Magic Volume 1-3 by Jack Hughes
Jack Hughes was a master builder and craftsman who created and built props for some of the biggest names in magic for decades. Most of the items he built were his own inventions. The few that were not he most often improved significantly.

Every item is carefully described in terms of its effect, apparatus and performance. Nevertheless, the emphasis is on the prop with detailed drawings and dimensions to allow anybody handy to replicate these wonderful magic tricks. (The drawings are not blue-print type construction drawings, but rather sketches and illustrations with the main dimensions and all pertinent details.)

Even if you are not interested in building any of these apparatus, understanding of how they work will provide hours of pleasure and will most definitely spark new ideas. The shear volume of creations is mind boggling.

The following illusions and apparatus are described in this volume:
