Very rare book with damaged dustjacket.
From inside front cover: "Here is
an unusual and fascinating book about the circus written by one who,
for forty years, has lived the circus life. No one better knows its
vicissitudes, hardships and risks than he, and in his biography he
tells with startling realism of that life behind the scenes which
the circus enthusiast only glimpses through a transparency of
romance and glamour."
Book signed by author in 1949, with
message to recipient.
Fair condition with Poor
dustjacket. Book itself is in the condition one would expect
for a book of this age. The dustjacket is in poor condition and no
longer capable of wrapping the book. It is held loosely inside the
front cover, with potential for some repairs. (Click on photograph above for close-up of copy
for sale). |
