Literature about 'Lazzi' (commedia dell'Arte)?

Hi there,

Lazzi "is a piece of well-rehearsed comic action commonly used in the Commedia dell'arte."

I am looking for lazzi collections. Has anybody experiences with those books:

Gordon, Mel. 1983. Lazzi: The Comic Routines of the Commedia dell'Arte.

Grantham, Barry: Commedia Plays: Scenarios, Scripts, Lazzi.

What are the differences of those books? Which is better for the practionier of comedy writing?

Can you recommend any other collections on Lazzi, preferably online?

Thanks!
