Racist racism with a little dash of racism thrown in. The TITLE of the book is a SLUR. Ew, Buckland, seriously just ew.

I love this book! I love the historical photos he has included within these pages, along with the history! What I found so striking was the similarities between the Romani/Gypsy people and some of my own Native Canadian/American Indian ancestors (their "bender" tends look nearly identical to our sweatlodges - albeit both are used for vastly different purposes, also, there's photo's with 'gypsies' with the darker skin, outside of teepee like structures, they are a matriarchal culture, vast knowle I love this book!

This was an interesting read but not what I expected. Containing both lore and practical work but I feel that it tried to cover way too much and thus really only scratched the surface on most of it.
