According to a note in the front of the book, the book was presented by the wife of Charles Allison, a founding member of the York Society of Magicians, to the society following Allison's death. Another note in the front of the book explains that the book went missing in the late 1960s and was found again in the summer of 1996. In 1996 when the book was rediscovered, the Society's council decided to make the book the "President's Talisman' with the acting president each year caring for the book.
