Jennifer Armstrong is a writer for Entertainent Weekly, and in the new issue there is a brief mention about a forthcoming book about The Mary Tyler Moore Show! No details yet, but the website above may have more soon.

Its about time! I think the only book devoted to TMTMS was Love Is All Around, which was about the making of the series. A good book, but we need something about the whole series history up til the present, with lots of pictures, including all the cast reunions.

I just checked Amazon, and the book comes out May 2013. Its called Mary & Lou & Ted & Rhoda.

This looks legit... Hope to give it a read.

I also saw Valerie Harper wrote her memoirs - "I, Rhoda" - which just came out as well. I wonder how it is...

There is also a book about Rhoda, the tv series. But its very expensive and I think there are limited copies.

The book is out now:) It's filled with details and history. It's a nice size hardcover with a great book jacket. I'll probably devour it in one weekend!

I finally checked out the book and it goes into more details about the show and everything than the first book "Love is All Around" did, but it doesn't make you throw away the first book. Jennifer Armstrong really did a great job, I enjoyed it immensely. This book made the behind the scenes story come to life in my mind. It even goes into some details about the spin-offs "Rhoda", "Phyllis" and "Lou Grant". Amazing book!

The author's writing is very good. It takes you on a fast read, and then you want to go back to the paragraphs to read them again and savor all the details!

Yes, in the middle of the book. Most are black and white if I recall correctly. Some are familiar, some I hadn't seen before. Some are of the writers and producers. I enjoyed seeing all of them. :)
