Hi Bart,

A book that gives a good overview with lots of fine photos is Bil Baird's
The Art of the Puppet. There are probably more scholarly books that give a
more complete history, but this is a great place to start for the big
picture.  Modern history in it ends a number of years ago, when it was
published. For a dry but interesting and very complete history of American
Puppetry (again up to the point of publication) look for the out of print
History of the Puppet Theatre in America by McFarlin.  For some of the more
up to date work I would look to some of the UNIMA publications, like
Puppetry International, or the Puppetry Journal, which is published by
Puppeteers of America. You can find info on both those organizations, and a
lot more,  on Rose Sage's Puppetry Home Page
