Puppets and Marionettes: A Collector's Handbook & Price Guide (Schiffer Book for Collectors)

Summary: SLOPPY, SLOPPY, SLOPPY
Review: I completely agree with every thing the reader from central Iowa said and more. I was so incensed by the inaccuracies in this waste of paper, I wrote a scathing letter to the publishers of the book, Schiffer Publishing. You know what their "professional" response was? They sent me their new catalogue to order from. This book is a piece of #!&@. And as a reference guide, it could almost be laughable if you hadn't already spent $19.95. What will Ms. Lindenberger's next literary venture be? Perhaps a do-it-yourself home guide to at-home heart, brain and oral surgery? I'm sure she's an authority on that as well.

Summary: poorly researched, incorrect information, SAVE YOUR MONEY
Review: the majority of information included in this book is not accurate. many of the items listed are mis-identified. names and dates are not correct. many examples pictured are in very poor condition. as an identification or reference guide it is almost worthless.
