VOLS. ONE and TWO – by Joe McKennon. 1st Ed, 1972. Carnival Publ. of Sarasota, Sarasota, FL. HC, DJ. Large format, 400 pages, copiously illustrated with hundreds of B&W photographs.Respected as one of, if not the finest study on the carnival industry in the United States, tracing its roots to the fairs of Europe, as far back as the mid-1600’s. Researchers and historians refer to this work consistently. VG. DJ has magic tape reinforcement on lower back, but book is clean throughout. Volumes One and Two were also published individually in very low run soft cover editions, but with poor bindings that fell apart quickly. At that same time both volumes were combined and published as a clothbound edition.
