Found a nice little book at the library today

[christyb]

Well, it's hard to describe. It reads like a comic book almost (not in comic book format). It does have lots of pictures. the text is like a script with initals for each character talking for instance K: is kermit MP: is Miss Piggy and so on. (man I'm gonna have to go back and check this thing out) It's not a kiddie book though. It runs just like the show. (with the exception of not all the song lyrics are mentions for each song it talks about)

Hey Beau. I've checked out the book today. I'll try to get a couple of pages for everyone to see up later on today. (when I can get at a computer with a scanner) But the librarian still wouldn't sell me the book...(i wonder if I shouldn't return it.... No bad Christy don't even think of such things. LoL)

Let me know if this works and what you think of the book. I like it myself. now let me see if I paid late fees and replacement costs....LoL

You can't really read it though. Put your screen on fullscreen then expand it and you can read it better.

Muppet Show Book

hi, that's a great book. one of our favorites. I think we have about 5 copies, and might sell one www.camelliasoftware.com/muppetstore

Also there is one for sale at www.2momluvme.com at about $10 as I recall. Also www.alibris.com for $10 to $40 each, and it does come with a nicely illustrated dust jacket, if you can find one with that. otherwise the cover is kinda mustard yellow with a little gold trim.

good luck if you look for one. should be easy to find one online.

in case anyone even THINKS of stealing one from a library ... PLEASE don't ... They need to be there for those who can't afford them and want a chance to look at it. Some libraries are putting Of Muppets and Men on reference shelves with anti-theft devices on the books, to prevent those from being stolen.

Aaaah! Oh, wait, sorry.

It looked like Animal had two heads on one page. Phew. i am so glad to be wrong sometimes.

Aaaah! Crazy Harry has three heads... sorry. My mistake again.


But, this is a neat nice little book though.
