If you like pimps AND grifters...

Then you should read Tricky Baby by Iceberg Slim. Two of the characters run a flatstore operation. It has a fair smattering of carny lingo and is a pretty fun read.

Everyone knows such a marvel could not possibly exist. I mean, c'mon, you cannot buy Marge's corncob curtains ANYWHERE. I mean this kook had to make hers!
