From the publisher: "If you ever wondered what happened to the original Jim Rose Circus Sideshow, then you will definitely want to read this book! This is the ONLY book that tells how it all began! The most imaginative casting agent couldn't have chosen the original troupe with more flair. The Amazing Mister Lifto, The Torture King, The Enigma, Matt The Tube Crowley with Dolly the Doll Lady. They were led by the maniacal hype-master himself, Jim Rose, who was assisted by Bebe the Circus Queen. These Human Marvels came together to revive the ancient art of Sideshow which had been nearly lost but not forgotten. Before rock-and-roll there was Sideshow, which also captivated, mystified and enraged audiences for over a hundred years. But by the end of the 20th century, you could count remaining Sideshows on one hand. Entertainment had become sanitized and corporatized for mass consumption; lukewarm safe with no sharp edges. There was a whole new generation that had been born and raised on rock-and-roll. Sideshow virgins who knew absolutely nothing about the eyeball-bulging, faint-inducing antics of the Human Marvels of Yesteryear. That is, until a modern Sideshow came to town. The contemporary tale -- as told by tour manager Jan T. Gregor -- is one of bannings, sex, drugs, fame, lust, longing, camaraderie and betrayal. Intertwined into the present-day story is an equally compelling historical voice: the intimate passages from a long-lost and only recently discovered 142-year-old diary. The average person, inherently curious, has always been both fascinated and repulsed by Human Oddities and their unusual feats. CIRCUS OF THE SCARS is the ultimate rollercoaster ride, careening through two years of Sideshow present while simultaneously barreling down 150 years of Sideshow past. CIRCUS OF THE SCARS takes you on a bizarre odyssey around the globe with a Sideshow troupe that truly was live, real, raw and dangerous. Learn the hidden secrets behind one of the most emotion-inducing acts of the 20th Century.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover.

Richard Williamson Ellis Was Born In Washington, D.C., In 1895. After Being Introduced To And Inspired By The Acclaimed Typographer, Bruce Rogers, Ellis Began Collecting The Books Of Master Printers, As Wells As Their Letters, Pamphlets, Ephemera, Broadsides, And Proofs. In 1924, Ellis Launched His Own Press, The Georgian Press, Initially Located On Fifth Avenue In New York. In 1927, Ellis Moved The Georgian Press To A Renovated Barn In Westport, Connecticut, Where He Stayed Until 1933. Ellis Printed Some Fifty Books. Although Some Of Them Carried His Own Imprint, The Majority Of Books Produced At Georgian Were Printed For Publishers And Private Collectors. At Georgian Press, Ellis Became Associated With Many Of The Famous Printers, Publishing Houses, Bookshops, And Private Collectors Of The Day Such As Cheshire House, Random House, Rimington And Hooper, And Doubleday, Doran And Company. In 1930, Ellis First Collaborated With The Limited Edition Book Club, With Whom He Would Establish A Lifelong Relationship. Despite Ellis' Artistic Success And Fame At Georgian Press, Financial Difficulties Exacerbated By The Depression Forced Ellis To Close His Business And Sell The Press In 1933 To George Macy, Founder Of The Limited Edition Book Club And The Heritage Club. In 1935, He And His Wife Esther Moved To Camden, New Jersey, Where Ellis Took A Position With Haddon Craftsmen. Ellis' Time At Haddon Craftsmen Ended In 1942. From 1942 To 1944 He Worked For Kingsport Press In Kingsport, Tennessee. In 1945, Ellis Moved To New York As A Consulting Book Printer. Ellis Worked At Curtis Publishing In Philadelphia From 1947 To 1956 Working On The Firm's Popular Magazines, The Saturday Evening Post, Ladies' Home Journal, Country Gentlemen, Jack And Jill, And Holiday. After Leaving Curtis, Ellis Once Again Struck Out On His Own. Ellis' Final Work Was Commissioned By The Free Library Of Philadelphia And Was Completed While Ellis Was In His Eighties: Pennsylvania German Fraktur Of The Free Library Of Philadelphia. Publication Of The Book Marked The End Of A Sixty-Year Career In Book Designing And Printing. During His Lengthy Career, Ellis Gained Recognition Amongst His New York And Philadelphia Colleagues As A Master Of Fine Printing. Ellis Died On October 9, 1982, In Philadelphia.
