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.

I think I might give it a read when it comes out.

Hi there, I'm the author -- thanks for your interest! FYI, the book is available for pre-order on Amazon now! There's more info on that and reading groups on the website linked above.

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.

Hi, Jen! Glad you found this thread. I'm @mtmsfan from Twitter. Can't wait for your book to come out!

Hi from me too

I like the cover a lot! I'm glad it's going to be a hardcover. Very classy book for a classy show!

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...

McGillicuddy · 01-28-2013, 12:41 AM

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!

I'll have to see if my library has this book. It looks great.
