One other thing I just thought of there is a video that is now out called "the American Puppet" I have not seen this but have heard good thing about it.  From the Back Cover: From the streets and taverns of colonial America to the bright lights of today's Broadway stage, puppets have been a favorite form of American entertainment. The American Puppet is the first documentary to chronicle this arts fascinating and colorful evolution. Narrated by film and television actor Dan Lauria, this landmark documentary examines the lives and recounts the significant contributions of men and women who, throughout the years, have helped to shape puppetry in America.

 It is available through my book site at http://puppetbooks.com/newbooks.htm#videos
