Mkittysamom I am really enjoying your book! It doesn't feel as if I'm reading about history but a story and being entertained by entertainment lol! I'm so glad to have a copy! I'm on chapter 3, right after the hypnotist! Can't believe that they humiliated people on stage.. I never believed in it before..my Grandma wanted me to get hypnotized to stop smoking lol. The pictures are perfectly spaced, it's cool to see what it looked like back in the 1920's! It seems like after tv and media came fast..and I can see how we got to today. Thanks!
