Dear Colleagues
This concerns the new 402 page book put out by Mellen titled 'Marionette Theater of the Symbolist Era' edited by Keith Tribble.
My advice is not to buy it unless you know exactly what you are letting yourselves in for and are happy with that.
I have just received copies of this publication.  The publisher's blurb sounded intensely interesting, and no doubt all the contents are, which is confirmed by some pieces I have just read.  However, several chapters which make up a full half of the book is in the Russian language.  Admittedly there are brief English summaries at the end of these chapters, but my point is that the publishers should have indicated this, especially for a book priced at $129.95 and =A389.95.
I shall be returning at least half of the stock I have received, meanwhile I would be glad to hear from people who read Russian.
Best wishes to all customers,
Have a happy and peaceful festive season

  I am saddened to learn of Winnie Wilson's passing. She joined the Puppetry
  Guild of Greater New York when it first started. The following message was
  sent to me from Bill Harper.

  Steve Widerman:
  Please report to PGOGNY members about the passing of Winnie Wilson.  She died
  on August 14th in St. Albans (Queens), NY.  1925 - 2002
   
  For over thirty years Winnie's marionettes provided entertainment for
  audiences that included all age groups at locations in schools, libraries,
  and community centers. She gave most of her shows in the Queens area of NYC
  and gave an occasional performance at the PGOGNY meeting place in the 1970's.
  She knew Lenny Suib and Rod Young. 

  She was assisted in her performances by her husband; Donald, Daughter; Donna
  and son; Mark.  She was born in Brooklyn. Her goal was to bring "Joy and
  Laughter" to her audiences.
