There are so many very good suggestions. You have covered all or most of the potential pitfalls and how to avoid them when starting marionette work. I would have found this work very helpful when I was a beginner puppeteer, but even as a seasoned profession I enjoyed seeing all the points so clearly stated. - Phillip Huber, internationally acclaimed marionette artistThis charming and deceptively "simple" book is chock-a-block full of tips and techniques valuable to all levels of marionette practitioners, presented with clarity and a clear affection for the craft. Kurt has created a manual worthy of any puppeteer's library and workbench, one I wish I had when I was beginning. Small but mighty fine, this book is a delight. - Ronnie Burkett, another internationally acclaimed marionette artistIt is a concise treasure trove of hard-earned knowledge and should be an essential reference for all practitioners of marionettes. - Luman Coad, award winning puppeteer and author of "Marionette Sourcebook"
