Question FOL Book?

I have searched and searched, but never found a book about the show. Does anyone know of one? It seems so odd that a show that popular was never written about! It's frustrating!

I wish there was a FOL book, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

The only reason anyone would ever hate me, is because they want to be just like me.

On April 24, 2008, Dana and I are going to meet in LA and handcuff ourselves to Nancy McKeon and Jay Harrington, and you're not. Ahahaha!

Jinny: Oh, come on, folks, please, don't be shy. Apparently anyone is welcome to crap all over me tonight, so please, step right on up!

Kaley: There were about 500 mexicans with about 500 kids a peice there...
Dana: All mexican people have 500 kids... Take everyone in my family for example...

Check out my Nancy McKeon Supersite!

Want me to write one? just kidding! Anyway, I don't think I would pay much for a book, I mena who needs a book when you got the show? or do you mean, like, things that happened behind the scenes or what? I dont' think I understand the whole concept, but it's not the first time...

Wouldn't it be cool if WE wrote a book? Like first explain the show, characters, give all the necessary info, then share our own experiences with FOL? You know, tell how it, I don't want to sound corny or anything, but how it kinda touched our lives or taught us things or something? Man, I am waaaaaaaaaay too tired. These auditions are stressing me out! I'm exhausted! Sorry folks, dumb idea, I'm REALLY tired...

Granted this probably doesn't count very much, but I read on LIsa Whelchel's website that she is writing a book called "The Facts of Life and other things my father taught me." It's semi-autobiographical from what I read, but it also has a lot of religious tones to it. So, there might be some information in it, but who knows how much.

I think that's a terrific idea! It would be kinda hard, but fun! Lol,the by-line would be three pages long!
