Welcome to my listing for the US edition of Marjorie Batchelder's The Puppet Theatre Handbook, a must-have work for anyone interested in the art of puppetry. A hardcover book missing its dustjacket, it was published by Harper and Brothers in 1947. Despite some age and everyday wear, it is still clean solid and usable. The pages are lightly yellowed but intact, undamaged, and unmarked except for owner's names written inside the front and back covers. The binding is solid, with light scuffy wear and one dime-size stain on the front cover cloth. Not an ex-library book.
