"This was a beautiful and fascinating book. I found it educational and entertaining. Bill Baird had obviously done extensive research and his own career provided the confidence and respect for his opinions."
"This book was what I expected and more, it was a future Puppeteers handbook. It was in great shape, and I would recommend it to anyone that has the vision to dream."
