==2014 Re-release==
In January 2014, Archaia announced plans to re-release the book in a special hardcover edition featuring newly discovered conceptual artwork and excerpts from Jim Henson's original journals. 
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 includes these notes along with other extras.Archaia honors Henson legacy with reprints, new material
The book was re-released along with reprints of the Labyrinth and The Storyteller novelizations and the original Tale of Sand screenplay.
