Today, Thanks to Jacques Trudeau of Unima, who brought the heavy book with 
him at a meeting,  I had a very quick glance, in person, of the new book, 30 
years in the making.

It was made by Unima members over many years, with obviously a massive 
amount of work.

The brief nanoseconds (busy meeting ahead, no time) I was able to glimpse 
when Jacques flipped through the pages looks so terrific I want to buy it.
The 80$ (Can) is not something I was expecting to spend on a book this 
season (already ordered the same amount for a training DVD) but hey, it's 
huge, it's hardcover, and considering the amount of work, plus shipping 
overseas, it's a gift price!

For now, it's only available in French, but it's in the works to be 
translated.
I hear there are some deliberations about digital book format in the future.


It was officially Launched in France last Summer at the Charlesville-Meziere 
festival.
The Quebec Launch is going to happen at our Montreal puppet festival, called 
Les Trois Jours de Castelliers, which celebrates its fifth year already.

Official page on the Unima Website, which contains Jacques' email, to 
enquire about ordering books.
