Publisher Description: Mace Bugen might have been an achondroplastic dwarf--forty-three inches tall with an average-sized head and a torso set on small, twisted legs--but that didn't mean he was an idiot or a pushover. In truth, he was smarter than most; over the years, he learned to effectively turn what society in those days called a handicap into a powerful tool he could use to his advantage. This book features the best of his photos and a biography of his life. "Then at some point I figured it out: I gotta do something special to let 'em know I'm me." |
