"Being Green" Gets New Cover

As reported earlier, a collection of wisdom on life, friendship, individuality, creativity, collaboration, and more will be hitting the bookshelves this fall from the works of Jim Henson (and his friends). Hyperion Books is planning on releasing this new book on September 14, 2005 titled "It's not Easy Being Green - And Other Things to Consider". The book was written and compiled from the works (and friends) of the late Jim Henson by Jim's daughter, Cheryl.

This uplifting collection of quotes, stories, anecdotes, songs, will be entertaining, inspiring, touching, and laugh-out-loud funny. The book will be releases on September 14, 2005 in hardback print, and also on audio CD. When originally reported, the book was set to have a cover featuring a picture of Jim sitting in silhouette in a window holding Kermit (the actual original photo was of Jim with Bert). However the publisher had decided to change the cover art of the book. So now when you go into your local bookstore to pick up a copy later next month you should look for the following cover.

Thank goodness they're not using the FAKE photo for the cover. Let's stick to the real Jim Henson- he's good enough for me.

I liked the other picture, even if it was fake.

Yeah, the other picture was better. At least it had Jim on it. This looks like a kids book to me now.

Does anyone know where I can buy a print of the photo of Jim Henson and Kermit?
