Profiling one of the most influential works of pop culture to exist in the past 25 years, Jennifer Keishin Armstrong provides an inside-the-writers’-room view of how the show’s ridiculous plotlines came together, and the real-life inspirations behind them. With dozens of never-before-told stories, as well as never-before-published personal photos, in a starred review, Wall Street Journal calls SEINFELDIA “[S]avvy and engaging…the best way to enjoy Seinfeldia is to read the book with TV remote in hand, calling up episodes on Hulu as Ms. Armstrong adroitly recounts the back story of these still-captivating shows that were never, ever about nothing.”
