Editorial Reviews
Review
“Most readers will learn a great deal about both entertainment and Americans from this exhaustive and fascinating book. Words and phrases from the worlds of the circus, carnival, vaudeville, medicine show, and puppet show (to name just a few) are carefully defined in a way that simultaneously enlightens and piques curiosity. The author's serious treatment of his subject, strengthened by the quality of the introduction and the selective bibliography, makes this an important and unique record of American cultural history”–Library Journal
