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.
