"This book is about the different people who were sideshow workers at the circus over a period of time. Some of the people led sad lives, but many found love and enjoyment in what they did. I found it very interesting to see how the circus was and still is a world of its own."
"i finally finished this book after being given it years ago:) i really enjoyed it. i've had a fascination with circus acts for a while now and i really enjoyed reading about all the interesting people who make up these acts."
"Comprehensive guide to "freaks" from the early (and not so early) days of the carnival sideshows. Probably more information than you'll ever want to know."
"When I was smaller, I found my mother's battered copy of "Very Special People," outlining the lives of certain sideshow performers of carnival heyday. I loved the book then, and I was so glad to find this larger book with more up to date information on many of the individuals from Very Special People, as well as performers still working today."
