Toole-Stott 2833. Erste Ausgabe. - "This book is by far the best popular exposition of the world of the "phénomènes" and it conveys, perhaps because Saltarino knew it so intimately, a true and realistic picture of the life and problems of these strange people . . . The technique of sword-swallowing, snake-charming, sharp-shooting, such acts as the rolling ball, walking on the ceiling and many similar circus features, are also explained." (Toole-Stott). - Heftklammern wie meist gerostet.
