Puppets & Puppet Masters

I don't normally promo the sales of other dealers, but Will at Hang Fire Books took part in my birthday celebration, so he's like family -- like that crazy cousin your parents are always rolling their eyes at but is the most fun to see at extended family get-togethers (sorry, cousin Lisa).
