Old Fraggle Rock Books

[christyb]

Hey I didn't know if anyone would love this tidbit of nostalgia. A local library was cleaning off their shelves to make room for new books. Well a friend of mine works there called me up and said "Hey girl I have a surprise for you"

Well I went down there and she had this stack of old Fraggle Rock storybooks for me! I just moved so they're in a box around here somewhere. I'll dig them out to take some pictures to show everyone. I immediately thought of you guys when I got them. I never expected to find such a stash....and for free.

Co-incidentally enough, I found this advertisement (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svZvUCFlh9Y)for those very books just this morning.

That's great, christyb! My library has a store section that often has rare Muppet books, including Fraggles. It's always exciting to look through the collection, but also a bit difficult because I always feel like I need to leave some for the kiddies, hehe.

[Beauregard]

Surely it's would have been easier to make Fraggle Paperback Books...Rock books are a bit stoneage...

[christyb]

Maybe that's why the box I put them in broke.....

Oh I agree heralde. They were gonna throw them away I'm glad I was thought of. I have them in safe keeping. My plan is give them to my kids one day... of course that'd require being married and having kids and I'm single but hey a gal can dream

Interesting! I just bought a paperback Fraggle Rock book this morning at a used book sale :) I was so happy to find it! It's about Red and a pumpkin, yellow in color.

[Beauregard]

Well, we could post them to one of our many kids...But they might be a bit old for FR books...Plus the postage on Rock Books would be phenomenal(do do doo do do)

[Redsonga]

The pictures are really nice, someone on myspace has scanned (http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=198164829&albumID=531925&imageID=1937789#a=531925&i=1937789) some of the books...
I have the 'What is a fraggle?' one. Even if you are 'too old' they are nice to look at :3

[christyb]

To old? There's such a thing?

[Redsonga]

To old? There's such a thing?

That's why I quoted it ;). I don't think it is a real english term *lol*:excited:

[Beauregard]

*cough* Well, I was joking...about being too old...But now I feel old...*cough* Old...

[christyb]

Saaaaammmmeeee here my friend.

[Beauregard]

Speaking of old, I'm not used to all this multi tasking...I need sustenance!

[Redsonga]

Saaaaammmmeeee here my friend.

*looks up from Fraggle Rock book*
But if you are old what does that make me:eek:? I don't like where this is going...

[Beauregard]

I'm thinking, you're only as old as you feel...I'm feeling old, if you're feeling young then go with it! *hands out cucumbers*

[christyb]

Cucumbers? Please don't tell me MC muffining is on a healthy kick too? Sheesh I remember a MC days when we would kidnap a few muppeteers before mid afternoon cake and cookie time

[Beauregard]

Well, finish the cucumbers...or relax with them on your eyes and a comforting mudpack...first, Muppeteernaping second.

[heralde]

My plan is give them to my kids one day... of course that'd require being married and having kids and I'm single but hey a gal can dream

Exactly, you read my mind! Hey, if I have to adopt I will (much later in life of course). I want to have someone to pass my Muppets books on to, hehe. ;)

[Beauregard]

See, my original plan when buying Muppet related merchandise was that one day I assumed I'd be able to sell it for more...because it's so rare...But with the Muppets making a comeback, looks like that plan will never pay off...

...Ahh, well...Best have kids then...

[bazooka_beak]

Ha! Any Fraggle Rock books I find are for me XD

[Beauregard]

Have you tried looking at the end of Rainbows?

[Drtooth]

I know I had at least 2 of these things... I just can't remember which ones. Was there one about Boober doing Laundry, cuz I distinctly remember it enough to think I have it.

Only one I really remember is the Fraggle Rock story in the old Muppet Treasury book series. We only got the first volume.

[bazooka_beak]

Have you tried looking at the end of Rainbows?

Hmm... perhaps caves or holes in the wall would also be appropriate :)

[Beauregard]

Gee...sure, if you're not afraid of spiders...or have a torch...

[christyb]

...Ahh, well...Best have kids then...

*looks at Beau* No way. You have yet to buy me dinner! This is my second set of Muppety books. I have another set from when I was a kid. It had different stories from different characters in it. They are kept very safe. I read them so much when I was little that I've worn them out. Thank goodness they're hardcover

[Beauregard]

They must be hard cover if they're made of Rock...Have I worn out that joke yet?

[bazooka_beak]

Gee...sure, if you're not afraid of spiders...or have a torch...

Urk. I hate spiders and bugs :eek:

About three years ago, I won an auction off of eBay for about 20-some Fraggle books, and let me tell you; they are some of the best pieces added to my Muppet collection. I will definately want to add more vintage Fraggle stuff as well to go with my Sesame and classic Muppets.
