I saw a review of this book and they mentioned the circus design layout of it, this completely hit home with me. I was trying to figure out how to describe this sort of bitsy loud and kitsch sort of design and circus is perfect.
Warning: this is not a pattern book. This is a book about knitting, and touches on a bit of history, a bit of popular culture, a bit of the who’s who of knitting. It is a teenage magazine of knitting in fact. Do you know what I mean when I say teenage magazine – filled with silly nonsense and useless facts, quizzes and celebrity gossip, but entertaining for a brief moment. Some entertaining moments included a short bio on a couple of well known knitting bloggers, and a section of famous people who knit, and a few pics of knitting designs in fashion.
I would say that this book might appeal to teenagers who are into knitting or thinking about knitting, it might also be a good fun gift for a friend, but probably not suitable for serious knitters.

Wow. That sounds like a complete waste of resources. Seems particularly band-wagon-y and annoying. Thanks for the head’s up.
