According to the recent Jim Henson Legacy newsletter, Craig Shemin's long awaited book Sam and Friends: The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show will be rereleased next month.


Sam and Friends: The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show, published by Bear Manor Media, is an in-depth exploration of Jim's groundbreaking local television show which ran on WRC in Washington, D.C. between 1955 and 1961.
