Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Great companion to the series - I had got the mistaken impression from the description that this was a book by an insider. I must have read the back cover in a shop too quickly. It turns out to be something better than an insider's view - it is written by a journalist who has gone out of the way to get interviews with all sorts of people from writers to actors to the original real-life Kramer. An insider's view would give one perspective but this book gives lots of different inside perspectives. If you have the DVD box set and have played the commentaries on episodes then some of this book will be familiar but there are still some great new details in there, especially about the ongoing fan culture. A no-brainer for any fan of the show. I wanted it as soon as I saw it and have not regretted buying it. Review: Not as deep as it claims to be - but still enjoyable because, hey, it's Seinfeld - I enjoyed this book - but it would be difficult to write a book about Seinfeld that wasn't enjoyable. Difficult, but not impossible. It's an entertaining read that collects interviews from many sources and adds in some (but not a lot, I don't think) original content to produce a highly readable history of the series. The opening chapters are the best in which the genesis of the series is laid out, lots of which I didn't know (the stars' various pasts, for example), and subsequent chapters give us details of what it was like to write on the show. But as the book progresses it loses focus and each chapter tends to wander off the point a bit. It's not particularly insightful - for example the 'curse of Seinfeld' chapter relies too heavily on snippets from interviews when this would have been a great opportunity to interview people about why some of the actors' subsequent efforts didn't work out, or more about Michael Richards' racist outburst. There are some inaccuracies in the book (Seinfeld doesn't own all the cars in Comedians With Cars Getting Coffee, as anyone who watches it would know) and strange omissions - nothing on Seinfeld's short-lived series The Marriage Ref. A few things get repeated too - Terry Hatcher and Courtney Cox were in the show, we get told twice. Also, a few things get repeated too - Terry Hatcher and Courtney Cox were in the show, we get told twice... The concept of "Seinfeldia' doesn't really hold up to scrutiny and apart from the first and last chapters it gets called up in ways that suggests it's a thesis without much solidity. So, as the other reviews here say, it's short on analysis - but it is a good light history of the show. I'm being overly critical only because it's being pitched as something more than it is, but it is enjoyable and recommended to fans. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 169,972 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 40 in United States Cinema 103 in Television History & Criticism 111 in Comedy Television | | Customer reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (1,566) | | Dimensions | 15.24 x 2.54 x 22.86 cm | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 1476756112 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1476756110 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | 6 Jun. 2017 | | Publisher | Simon & Schuster | ## Images ![Seinfeldia: How a Show About Nothing Changed Everything - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jBiwDXmqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great companion to the series *by A***R on 28 January 2020* I had got the mistaken impression from the description that this was a book by an insider.

Ms. Armstrong knows her stuff, with exhaustive research and info that never gets tiring. Worth having the series on hand for dipping back into while reading this!
