I click the link and just got back to the start of Buckles' blog.
Is it just me?
It's Not just you. It happens to me also. I'm not sure why. Perhaps Buckles can have a technical support kind of person give us a better answer.

I'm guessing that this Bob is
neither "Robert" nor "Bobby"
Hi Chic,
You are correct. I am neither. I started out on Circus Kirk in 1973 and went from there.

Hi Bob
I'm not sure if we have ever met
but I was joking about "Bobby"
as anyone who knew him would be
well aware he could not have
authored much at all and now that
I can see your photo I can tell
Best of luck with the book
I had gotten to know both of
the others and there is a cute
story about Bobby being confused
with Robert by a member of the
press that had arrived ahead of
Col Zinser for an interview and
the strange conversation that
occured before the Col showed up

Take care one and all! ~frank
hi,
Does any one know how many pages are in this e-book?....and are there pictures?
Sounds like a great new book to have.
Good questions to ask! The book is a downloadable e-Book on the internet. It has 133 pages or 50,000 plus words. There are numerous color photos, black and whites, newspaper cuts and of course some of the grandest Circus Posters ever used in this country.
The Price is 9.95 and 1.00 from each sale goes to the OABA Animal Fund.
I hope you enjoy it.
Feel free to email me at tigeract@thecircusworld.com

Is there any chance that it might
get printed (with ink on paper)
for some of us throughbacks in
the near (or far) future
I'd love to see it but not on
a computer screen please
I would certainly be happy to
pay a higher price for it
Those are indeed my hopes and prayers. Time will tell.
Bob
