4000 Years of Juggling by Karl Heinz Zeithen.

This book traces the history of juggling, but its complete lack of a bibligraphy
or footnotes to denote sources leaves me befuddled.  I've traced many of his
"early history" back to sources and much of is is inaccurate.  Not completely
wrong, just streched a little.  This may be from the german to english 
translation that Mr. Zeithen once complained to me about.  This two volume work
is currently out of print, but there is one copy available through interlibrary
loan (it isn't copy-writed if your interested) and Dube' is due to reprint it
in one volume shortly.  (there is a huge amount of white space that could be
removed.)
