New Puppet Mania Book

[ddavisborg]

I just got my monthly online newsletter from OWS and in it they were advertising a puppet building book called Puppet Mania. It is written by John Kennedy who worked for the Henson company. In the description it said that there were instructions for building several different types of puppets and instructions for moving eyelids and trigger mouth mechanisims. Has anyone gotten this book? Is it worth the $15 ? Thanks !

I have the book, and like it a lot.
I have a library of puppet related books, so if you need some suggestions email and I'll send you a list of ones I like, and their ISBN numbers.

There's actually "Banana Buddies" kits you can order from John Kennedy:

Puppet Mania is a great book. I highly recommend it. If you order it directly from John's web site you can get an autographed copy.
