Excellent

Timeously delivered and in very good condition. Not the best layout and design, but the content is perfect for anyone interested in working with or teaching puppetry. Lots of interesting exercises and clear instructions.

the A-Z of puppetry and puppet shows

I find this book facinating to read,and as I grew up loving puppets and puppet theater,Diver Dan, Howdy Doody, Kookla Fran and Ollie, Sharry Lewis and Lambchop etc,I am glad to have the tools to make some for my own amusement and hopefully be able to make some use of them. Great book. I love it.
