Card Cavalcade
Card Cavalcade, written and published by Jerry Mentzer. This book is the first of a five-volume collection of card magic routines from many great magicians.
This first volume dedicates a full chapter to Eddie Fechter and another to Tony Binarelli, and the other seven chapters are filled with routines by a slew of others like J.K. Hartman, Karl Fulves, Nick Trost, and more! With more than 25 contributors and coming in at 159 pages, this book is packed with fantastic material that was, mostly, unpublished previously.
As a personal note (from @gbabbits) - I actually purchased this book specifically for the chapter on Fechter. I bought it on eBay and when it arrived I flipped through it really quick - it looked good so I set it aside and left the appropriate eBay feedback. A few days later I picked it back through it to actually read it and that's when I noticed that pages 3 through 18 are missing from the book. Whatever page comes after the introduction, and then the first half of Chapter One are just... not there. Unfortunately for me, I had already left feedback saying it was good so I couldn't do anything about it -- but the rest of the book is actually pretty great so I'm not terribly upset. Just kind of.
Where to buy?
Last I checked, you should be able to pick up Card Cavalcade at Amazon.
