Animal Puppetry book is coming apart. Please see photos. Plastic dust jacket cover in place, this book was a library book. The spine has dried unfortunately. However, all pages are present, with no dog -eared pages, but they're old, yellowed and dry-feeling. Ink writing from the librarian and the library card folder is glued on to the inside.
