I think that from the viewpoint of history, theory, contemporary practice,
and international activity, the standard is now being set by "Puck", which
is published by the Instititut International de la Marionnette, in
Charleville-Mezieres, France.  It is only in French and Spanish, but it's
great to see; quite beautifully laid out, with great images, and a very good
sense of puppet theater past and present. 

I agree with Christopher Piper that "Puppetry Journal" is great and
innovative, and invaluable for an understanding of United States puppetry.
As Christopher states, UNIMA-USA publishes "A Propos," but quite
importantly, it also publishes "Puppetry International," which is building
towards the kind of scope and depth of such magazines as PUCK. (I'm partial
to this one because I work on its editorial board).

"Animations," from the Puppet Centre Trust in England, has a great range and
scope, as do such German magazines as "Puppenspiel und Puppenspieler" (which
I think now has a new name), from Switzerland; and a German puppet magazine
whose title escapes me.   

Our New York P of A guild (Puppetry Guild of Greater New York) publishes a
great little magazine called "Puppet Master," as do many of the guilds
across the country.  

I should mention that a special issue of "The Drama Review," also known as
"TDR," focused on puppets, masks, and performing objects, will be published
this coming fall.  I'm excited about that because I edited it.  It has
articles on a variety of puppet subjects, past, present, and future.  I'll
try to post the contents in the future.
