Book Reviews of The Circus: 1870-1950
Book Review: THE Circus Compendium
Summary: 5 Stars
A literally enormous book (about 30 x 50cm and thick) it is the absolute definitive collection of all things circus. For anybody who has ever wanted to collect circus memorabilia but couldn't afford it, this is your go to book. The illustrations are huge, the photos amazing, with every aspect of circus days of old covered. This is a beautiful book to keep out for everybody to share (and you will be hard pressed to fit it in a book shelf anyway). I have always loved old circus poster art and ephemera and over the years tried to collect what books I could on the subject but have always been disappointed with the lack of one really fabulous book about it. Then I saw this book on Martha Stewart's show, of all places, but it was a smaller version. Seeing that it was a Taschen I knew it would be good. When I received my purchase in the mail, I couldn't believe how huge, informative and gorgeous it was. It actually exceeded my expectations by a mile. So don't hesitate to buy....this ones a keeper.
