I am completely baffled by the categorization of this book. It is categorized under Photography, but there is no mention of photography in it. It is also listed as a book for teens. Although some teens might enjoy reading it, the books is certainly not a teen book. It is an in depth look at the psychology and sociology of clowns.

For anyone interested in the sociology and psychology of clowns, or the fool, this is a very good reference.
