Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] List of basic puppetry books needed.


Search Bookstores? My experience is you will not find very much in 
"brick & mortar" bookstores. Specialty books, like other specialty 
items, are best located on the internet. Is there a difficulty in 
getting things shipped to Honduras? If that is the case why not do the 
research now and try and arrange to have the books shipped to a U.S. 
address that you can pick the books up from while you are here? If I 
were researching I would start with the online Puppet Store operated by 
the P of A., also check Ray DaSilva's used books in his U.K. website 
and even search the topics you are looking for on Amazon, if only to 
read the opinions of others who have purchased the books you are 
interested in. Sometimes you can find them for less from the private 
sellers on Amazon or on Alibris or perhaps even Ebay.
