11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Very detailed. colorful; must for any Jim Henson fanBy KennyAs a fan of the blog "Jims Red Book." Ive always wanted to see it turn into an actual book. My prayers have been answered. The book features notes from Jim Hensons journal that he compiled from 1954 to 1988. The real joy is seeing rarely seen photos and material from The Jim Henson Company Archives.Despite the major Muppet brands being owned by three companies (Henson. Disney. Sesame Workshop). it is wonderful that they cooperated to give Muppet fans a detailed and comprehensive look behind-the-scenes at all the Muppet productions. with thoughts from Jim himself. Complete with sketches and exciting photos of Henson characters and staff. Imagination Illustrated is a real treat. Any real Muppet/Jim Henson fan will want this book. My only complaint is that the Henson Archives is probably so vast. not everything could fit into this book. I propose a sequel.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Well worth the timeBy Arthur DaigleThe book contains a lot of interesting information about Jim Hensons early career that most people are too young to have seen firsthand. This includes early television shows and his work in commercials. There is also plenty of concept art used to develop characters and sets. I would have liked to see more details on certain subjects. but given how long and varied Jim Hensons career was that would be impractical.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great ReadBy Ms. Cs ClassI bought this for a student who loves Jim Henson. He cant put it down! The pages are full of beautiful. full-color photographs. The text gives you a glimpse into the fine minds at the Jim Henson studio. Appropriate for late elementary through high school students.
