I wish there were more profiles! I would've loved to hear how each of these people (mostly white men) became Santa.
My one complaint? There weren't enough text-profiles of each Santa! I would have loved more background or anecdotes from each of them. Still, this book is worth a read alone just to see the variations of each of their beautiful and unique Santa Claus costumes.
A very hilarious book! I rented it from the library, and finished it overnight. It has been compared to "A Confederacy of Dunces", and I agree. If you like your comedy dark, read this!

This photography collection with small biographies and interests of different Santas is super cool. It was a great way to help get into the Christmas spirit and read about how people got into the job of playing Santa (in his place, of course. He can't be everywhere!). It was one amazing collection and such a unique one. It's something I haven't seen before, so I am completely impressed.
Four out of five stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and Princeton Architectural Press for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.… (més)
