I don’t know as you’ve noticed, but Jim Henson : The Works : The Art, The Magic, The Imagination has more titles than it strictly needs, but it doesn’t have an index.
So, sponsored by a grant from the Tough Pigs Foundation for the General Betterment of Muppet Fans Everywhere, I present to you the index that we’ve been missing for the last ten years. Please print out this page, and affix it to the back of your book, using a standard #34 staple gun.
