.As the biggest Seinfeld fan I know, I can say this book was made for someone like me. Seinfeldia is a fun, thorough deep dive into everything Seinfeld, and it delivers exactly what a longtime fan wants. It traces how the show actually came together, and it was a blast learning where so many of the most iconic plotlines came from in real life.

If you have ever wondered how a show about nothing became one of the most influential sitcoms ever made, this book answers that question from every angle. It is packed with the kind of detail that only a real fan will fully appreciate, and it made me love the show even more than I already did.

Highly recommend this one for any true Seinfeld fan. It is the kind of book you will want to keep close by so you can dip back into it whenever a rerun sparks a question about how a scene or episode came to be.

And if diving into the DNA of a 90s classic is your kind of thing, my own book, Fading Light: Echoes of a 90s Childhood, digs into that same decade from a different angle. It is a poetry collection built out of the VHS tapes, Saturday morning cartoons, and mixtapes that shaped a lot of us growing up back then. Fading Light releases August 30, with a launch event August 29 at True Leaves Bookshop in Princeton, IL.
