5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful piece of American history!!, July 20, 2011
I couldn't put this series down. The stories are wonderful bits of American history. Great pictures, beautiful art work. This is perfect for anyone interested in the sideshow, the circus, fairs, magic, tattoos, theater, art, performers, oddities, etc. etc. When I was little we used to go to the sideshow and these books are a wonderful reminder of those times. The sideshow is a very important part of American history and the Shocked & Amazed series is helping to keep alive the art and performances of this very unique group of people. Hurray!!! It looks at the past, present and future. The stories, by a wide range of authors, are very well written & interesting to read. The old photos are a blast. The words of many of the performers are inspirational. Thanks to creator James Taylor and all involved. Keep up the good work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Freakin' Great! Buy This Book!, October 24, 2001
By 
D.B. "terraplaned" (Gibtown, FL United States) - See all my reviews
James Taylor is a minor genius on the order of Typhoid Mary, or the guy who invented the wide-mouthed soda can. What I mean is that Mr. Taylor has distilled the sweetest and most powerful liquor out of the grease and rust of the sideshow, and packed it into the meaty pages of "Shocked and Amazed". If you have any interest in the sideshow, freakery, or the hard red underbelly of American culture, you need these books. So far there are 5 issues, with "Shocked and Amazed" Number 6 coming soon.
