Incredible Collectors Weird Antiques Odd Hobbies Author:Bill Carmichael This book is about the man who collects for the sheer joy of it, and the things he collects - barbed wire, steam calliopes, Pullman cars, barn door and elephant hair. Also discusses Jo-Jo the Dog Faced Boy, Madame Tussaud, the Collyer Brothers. An unforgettable testament to the adage that there's no accounting for taste.
If you are looking for something unusual to collect, this is the book for you. Oil cloths, a 300 lb. ball of string, tokens from bawdy houses, typewriters, real train cars, First Lady's dresses, tattoo art and MUCH, much more. Interesting!
