According to Stephen Christy, in a 2014 interview for USA Today, when Jim Henson was producing The Dark Crystal, rather than handing the responsibility off to an assistant, Henson personally took the time to read Smith's novelization and gave him 20 pages of notes. Archaia's reprint of The Dark Crystal will include these notes along with other extras.[1]
The book was re-released along with reprints of the Labyrinth and The Storyteller novelizations and the original Tale of Sand screenplay.
