"Andy Greene's epic history of The Office is as brilliant, riotous, addictive and essential as the show itself. Greene tells the whole strangely heroic tale of how one weird show accidentally reshaped TV comedy--and makes it feel like a time capsule of our entire culture." -- Rob Sheffield, New York Times bestselling author of Dreaming the Beatles and Love is a Mixtape "A tremendously fun must-read for anyone who loves the show! Andy Greene gets you inside the entire process, including the show's creation, casting, what happened inside the writer's room, and what actors were thinking during specific scenes. He reveals so many inside details about the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, many that even I didn't know--and I played the owner!" --Andy Buckley, aka David Wallace on The Office "In this behind-the-scenes trove for the countless fans of The Office , Rolling Stone senior writer Greene pulls together comments, context, and insights in a round-table style that tracks the sitcom's origins and success... With cogent chapters about key episodes, lead characters... craft talk, and nuts-and-bolts details, Greene smartly lets the contributors elaborate how a workplace mockumentary became a cultural phenomenon... A fond, funny, informative trip down Memory Lane for series buffs and newcomers alike." -- Kirkus, "Andy Greene's epic history of The Office is as brilliant, riotous, addictive and essential as the show itself.

I thought up to that point that I was actually working at a paper company. But in any case, I loved the book. It's spot on, with great background stories, and I learned so much." -- Creed Bratton, actor, The Office "A tremendously fun must-read for anyone who loves the show!

The value of these amazing sellers is just as priceless…Thank you so much John & Steph!
- n***o (288)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseFirst time buying from this seller. Great communication. I bought 8 CDs in this order. Unfortunately, one of my CD cases got cracked in shipping. CDs were packaged wrapped in a mailing bag with paper cushioning the box not, not bubble wrapped. My seven other CDs were as pictured and described. Disc 1 in this set was the only one dinged. It's minor, but noticeable and not what you expect. Overall however, I am pleased with my purchase. I would order from them again, if extra precautions are takenPiano by Candlelight - 3 CD Set (CD, 1994, Madacy) (#335976401519)
