So... Is this the same release previously reportedly titled Street Gang? Or are you saying there will now be two distinctly different books printed and released commemorating SST's 40th, giving us BTS information on all or most of those forty years?

BTW: Thanks for the info Greg. You do a :super:

job with the News Flash.

So what's the difference between the two?

This really is so awesome! I can't wait to read them both!

The Count · May 11, 2008

*Reads... Thanks Greg. Wait a sec! Street Gang's written by Michael Davis? THE Michael "Earl" Davis who's here as a forum member? Not sure if that's right, but if it is, whoa... Man.

:halo:

Whoa-Man!
No Animal, settle.

Sah-rree.
Salright.

No, "Street Gang" is written by Michael J. Davis, former editor of TV Guide; not Michael Earl Davis, former Sesame Street puppeteer.

Oh... Okay then. Guess I stepped on his J, though I hear many people have stepped on their J's all the time.

WOW! That's quite incredible, two new in-depth Sesame books by the end of the year! I know what I'll be asking for for Christmas! :wisdom:

BEAR · May 11, 2008

I MUST have these books! This is something I've been waiting for ever since the Unpaved book. I wonder how much they will cost. Still, does anyone know the difference between the two books. I mean, they must be somewhat different, otherwise why would there be two similar books released at the same time?
