Books on Masks and Maskmaking

"About Face: The World of Masks and Puppets" at this year's Cityfolk Festival explored the masks of many different traditions. Want to learn more, or make your own? Then check out these books, which are available in the Dayton Metro Library catalog. Our thanks to library staffer Joy Schwab for compiling this list. Also look at last week's list of puppetry books.
