Puppetry Resources

There are so many books and web sites that focus on different aspects of puppetry that I could never list them all.  What I have collected below are ones that I've personally found useful or interesting, and I hope that you will, too.

Web Sites

• The Center for Puppetry Arts - A permanent puppet theater right here in Atlanta.  Be sure to check it out if you have any kind of interest in puppetry.

• Axtell Expressions - Need your own puppets?  This is the place to go if you want to buy high-quality professional puppet characters.
