Thank you for your kind words, Miss Lisa. Hopefully you won't have too long to wait. :-)

Hey, Aaron. We're all waiting for the inevitable soapy and juicy contents of your book.

asb813 · 12-19-2011, 10:52 AM

Cheers for that, JR1. Hard at work lathering up the soapy goodness ;-)

Does anybody know if this book will be coming soon? I went to the wordpress site and it hasn't been updated in months. Has the book been cancelled?

It hasn't been canceled -- it's in the page design stage right now. When the economy took a nose dive, my wife and I (I wrote, she designed the book) had to scramble to make ends meet with a lot of freelance work that has made it difficult to get the book out in a timely manner. Rest assured it's still coming -- it's completely written and just needs to have its layout completed and be edited. It looks like it's going to come in at 350-400 pages, so hopefully people will find much in it that they didn't know about 'Soap.' -Aaron Berman

the book sounds pretty interesting - I was crushed when they canceled the show, and all the rumors and talk about stuff going on with the network and all just made it worse, it would be nice to get another perspective of it.

There are some pretty surprising things in there about the people involved in 'Soap.' One of my favorites has to do with identifying the roots of all that controversy in the first place - a funny story behind that :-)

Thanks for the updates. Good to know it's still coming. I bookmarked the site a few years back and keep checking for updates.

"Soap" fans are anxiously awaiting this labor of love.

Hi all. Just a quick note to say the book about the making of "Soap" went to the publisher on Dec. 1, and should be out somewhere around Dec. 17, give or take a few days. Also tweaked the name slightly to indicate it's not an "official" book, so it's now called: "Soap: The Unauthorized Inside Story of the Sitcom that Broke all the Rules." (I know. I'm still trying to figure out if "unauthorized" cancels out "Inside" too.)

Just posted some sample pages and the full cover on the blog: http://soapcompanion.wordpress.com/

Thanks again for everyone's support on this one :-)
