Why is this book out of print?

Like many books on prop making, a lot of the materials and techniques describe in Motley's Theatre Props are a bit out of date. Published in 1975, it's still firmly in the old papier-mache-and-chickenwire world of prop building. In spite of that, Theatre Props deserves to be kept in print solely because of its wonderful introduction by Margaret Harris. In only ten pages, Harris gives a concise course in theatrical prop building that could stand perfectly well on its own without the rest of the book. There are still second-hand copies of this book available, and every props person should own one.WulfEditor & PublisherProptology Magazine
