    I've been eyeballing the book "The Circus Moves By Rail" by Tom Parkinson. There are some used copies on Amazon. I was wondering if any of you had that book and what you might think of it?

    Thanks, Tom G.

    Nice book to have in library. Nice reference at times. I have one and from time to time enjoy looking through it.

    I have it, It is indispensable, for any circus modeler.

    $25 plus or minus. I ordered mine from Amazon with several other items and I'm not sure of the exact number.

    I chose the cheapest used copy that was listed from Amazon. I've had pretty good luck ordering books that way. I never got a really bad book and several times I've gotten some real gems by selecting used copies.

    Nice thick soft cover book, got mine today. I hadn't known or forgotten that was a Carstens (old RMC) book. Mostly b/w but some color especially some old circus posters and prints. 391 pages.
