Publisher: AS Barnes & Company, NY
Page Count: 130
Book Dimensions(ht. x w.): 7 1/2" x 5 1/4"
ISBN: None
PATTERN RATING: 
. Chapters 4 and 5 are the only areas of this book that deal with the actual making of puppets - less than 30 pages (Less than 15, if you don't count Chapter 14 because it deals with carving in wood or clay sculpting rather than soft sculpture.)
INSTRUCTION RATING:. Instructions are sketchy with few illustrations to help the crafter, and even fewer photos.
