You could also ILL (InterLibrary Loan) it through your
local library. If your library doesn't own a book,
they can often borrow it from another library and loan
it to you. Most public libraries are set up for this
kind of thing, at least here in the US.

I own Puppet Circus, but that's how I'm going to
borrow copies of the other titles. I've been mulling
doing some trick marionettes for awhile now.

Speaking of marionettes, anyone catch the reruns of of
the old tv show Thunderbirds on the Tech TV satelite
network lately? I just saw a few minutes of one this
morning, and I can't decide if these things are rod
puppets, marionettes, or a little both. I have my
timer set to record them so I can catch a few. Bad tv,
but so bad it's good, if you know what I mean. And
interesting puppets.
