That cover immediately reminded me of "The Hairy Book" from Planet Dexter publishers. The editors of the "Left-Handed Book" sent me a copy of the hairy book when I was in third grade because I wrote them a letter asking if I was ambidextrous. So in the mail I received a response and the Hairy Book.
Irrelevant, I know. But the Avenue Q book looks really well-done.

Yea, supposedly it is furry.
My friend showed it to me and I got all excited and wanted to go right out and buy it until I realized it's not going to be released until Nov 1.

Posted: 5/15/06 at 9:12amI can't decide if that's cute and clever or just obnoxious and tacky... I love the show, but I don't know if I'd buy that book. Seems like it would get dirty and yucky...

Posted: 5/15/06 at 6:28pmMaybe a big plastic ziplock bag would be in order...

Posted: 5/15/06 at 7:19pmI was in Vegas last month and took a pic of a taxi cab that was Avenue Q themed. Awesome. I'll try to upload the pic or you can PM me if you want it by mail.

What's funny is that Disney released a dvd of the muppet show, and IT'S furry. i love the new taxicab.(NYC) I'm so sick of the "And did we mention we won the tony?" thing, Now, it's Lucy T.Slut and a guy, and it says "wake up happy."
Very cute.

I was reading about the book specifically and it says:
"With its cast of furry puppets, its shockingly politically incorrect lyrics, and its hilarious upending of children’s television,Avenue Q took Broadway by storm. The New York Times declared it "a breakthrough musical," and after a two-year run, the Golden Theater is still selling out eight shows a week. Its success is not limited to the Great White Way, however: THIS SUMMER, THE CAST WILL BE SWEARING, DRINKING, AND ENNUI-ING THEIR WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY."
Does this mean that they are definitley touring??
Edit: If the book comes out in November (after this summer) and it says they are touring "THIS SUMMER," which summer are they talking about?
