Don't know about other novels by Gresham, but he wrote what's
supposed to be an excellent non-fiction look at the carnival
world, called Monster Midway. I'd never heard of it until I
stumbled across a glowing review by Anthony Boucher in an old
Manhunt. There're usually a few copies listed on ABE and
Bibliofind, but the price range is pretty steep, so I still
know it only by reputation. Seems like it would make a good
choice for some small or university press to bring back into
print.

P.S. A little Gresham trivia: the Joy Gresham who became the
love of C.S. Lewis' life, as dramatized in the movie
Shadowlands, was our Gresham's ex!
