Great browsing in any room of the house.

If it's a compliment to call a book great bathroom reading, let me do so here. The short entry format makes this book terrific fun for browsing. Some entries are historical (The Cardiff Giant, P.T. Barnum's Brick Man), some deal with the carnival circuit, and some make you think back wondering if you've ever been the sucker. The answer is probably yes, but this is a most enjoyable way to find out.
