Through the incomparable photographs of Jeff Brouws, numerous historical photographs, and knowing text by historian Bruce Caron, Inside the Live Reptile Tent takes the reader on a journey inside the heart of the American carnival experience. This is a vivid photography book of American carnival midways and amusement parks, with text encompassing the history of the American carnival.
