Great book detailing history of carousels and some of the carvers and well companies. Author does get a bit heavy handed in the text about how carousels should not be disassembled and sold for their parts. Wonderful pictures and great details. She covers a number of the better known companies, Dentzel, Philiadelphia Toboggan Company, Hershell and others. She also talks about some of the carvers that are well known and tries to touch on lesser known ones, but not much info is available. Nice to read the text and learn history on companies and carvers, but just as nice to flip through for the pictures for more casual fun. ( )
