What are the secrets behind the creation of Larry David's hit show?
Fans can finally find out with this long-awaited
companion guide to the Golden Globe- and Emmy
Award- winning series.

Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Book is complete with stories about Larry David's childhood, his roots as a stand-up comic, and his various writing jobs before the breakthrough of Seinfeld. Readers will enjoy dating stories from his bachelor years, discover how he met his future wife, Laurie David, and learn why Cheryl Hines was picked to play his TV wife. A highlighted map of Santa Monica shows locations where favorite Curb scenes were filmed, such as the Toyota of Hollywood where Larry works as a car salesman. Ever wonder if there's a story behind the creation of Krazee-Eyez Killa's infamous rap? There is, and it's in this book, along with the tale of the ordinary afternoon lunch where the idea for Curb Your Enthusiasm was first formed. Perhaps best of all, fans can finally see Larry David's original scene outlines-just a few sentences from which the actors improvise-which eventually evolve into the carefully edited comedy that we see on air.

After five hilarious seasons, Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Book offers fans an intimate view of the people, experiences, and stories behind one of television's funniest shows.

Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Book is filled with hilarious images, insights, and behind-the-scenes moments, including:
* Original interviews with and commentary from more than 100 cast and crew members, guest actors, comics, and friends and family, including Cheryl Hines, Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman, and Richard Lewis
* An in depth, four-section interview with Larry David, covering everything from his childhood in Brooklyn to his emergence into the world of comedy and television.
* Never-before-seen outlines from the show that are the basis for episode storylines.
* Detailed episode guides for the show's first five seasons.
* More than 100 full-color photographs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty, pretty good.

This book is very well written; filled with interviews of the cast, his the writers, Larry David, his family and friends. Mr. David is an absolutely brilliant comic, and this book is laugh out loud funny. After reading it, you will find that LD is not only funny in a "ha-ha" sort of way, but funny in a "hmmmmmm, he's odd" sort of way.

The book is great, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Curb, Seinfield, or just wants to understand what makes Larry David so dang funny!

I Loved this book! If you love the show, you'll love the book. It's filled with trivia about the show, the actors and comedians, the episodes, the plot, etc. It's a fantastic "beach book" to relax with and make you laugh. It goes through each episode from seasons 1-5 with plots, tid bits from Larry,the actors, everything about the making of each episode and also trivia about Seinfeld!

Exactly as described. A de-accessioned library book with library stamps on inside front cover, but probably was never checked out, it's in pristine condition and originally $30 so I'd call this a steal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun book to read and nice photos

Nice coffee table book. Had plenty of interviews and photos and a run down of every episode of the show. The reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is because I would have liked more details about each individual episode and some of the inside information regarding them. It gaves maybe 1-2 bullet points of topics of interest per episode which in my mind was not enough.
