Book "Fantastic Epic of the Carousel Salons"
By Francoise Dussour

About the indoor carousels there is a wonderful book written by
Marc Grodwohl, "La fantastique epopee des carrousels-salons ("The
fantastic epic of the carousel salons").  The publisher is Editions
Ecopark S.A. & Oberlin; ISBN 2-85369-112 8  [1 novembre 1990]

This book is in French, but with many black & white and colour pictures
(88 pages).  The author is the manager of the Eco-Museum of Alsace, a
park with the memory of the typical country of Alsace, and inside you
can look at the very nice Demeyer carousel.  You can learn also the
story of the Eden-Palais.  An example of each is in the Sanfilippo
collection.

Address of the Eco-Musee d'Alsace:

  Monsieur Marc GRODWOHL
  Ecomusee d'Alsace
  Grosswald, F-68190  UNGERSHEIM

Best regards from Mirecourt (France)

Francoise Dussour

 [ Evidently books may be also indexed by ASIN, which is ISBN without
 [ dashes.  Thus ISBN 2-85369-112 8 = ASIN 2853691128.
 [
 [ I found the book at http://www.amazon.fr/  as ASIN 2853691128
 [ The complete French title is "La fantastique epopee des carrousels-
 [   salons : quand le bonheur ne tenait -- qu'a un tour de cochons"
 [
 [ In English the title is something like "The fantastic epic of the
 [ carousel-salons : when happiness didn't happen -- what a dirty trick"
