I would imagine however that during the book's release they would have a special Sam and Friends screening and signing event with Craig at the Museum of the Moving Image in NYC. Again, still just wishful thinking.

THIS JUST IN:

The Jim Henson Legacy has announced in their most recent newsletter that the book is officially scheduled to be released on Jim's birthday, September 24th. On that same day, the legacy will be hosting a special event at the Museum of the Moving Image to celebrate the book's launch with a screening that will include an unearthed lost episode of Sam and Friends. More details to follow.
