This visually beautiful book includes a recap of the entire Friends phenomenon, illustrated with art and photos of assorted memorabilia, along with the story of the evolution of Friends over the years. At the heart of the book is a close look at what was going on behind the scenes and on the screen during each of the ten seasons, with episodic and behind-the-scenes photos. It features a collection of the best lines and jokes - the unmatched wit and wisdom of Friends. Interviews with the cast, writers, and producers, and a spotlight on Friends guest stars such as Tom Selleck and Brad Pitt make this collection a must-have for the 30 million viewers who have tuned in for the past ten years! From Booklist Friends fans around the world are mourning the end of the show's 10-year run, but they'll have this lavishly illustrated book to console them. Photographs, both from the episodes and behind-the-scenes, abound, but the many "exit interviews" will be what draws readers. Interviews with the primary six cast members, the show's creators, and some of the prominent recurring guest stars make up the majority of the text in the book. Die-hard fans might know most of the interesting tidbits--that Monica and Joey were intended to be the show's main couple, not Ross and Rachel, or that Monica and Chandler's romance was supposed to be short-lived--but some of the frank discussions in the interviews (like the other cast members' worries and frustrations over Matthew Perry's long battle with an addiction to painkillers) will intrigue passionate friends fans. A guest star notes that "Disneyland and the friends set are the two happiest places on earth," and everything the cast and creators say backs that up. Fans will seek out this fun retrospective. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Kristine Huntley About Author Wild was born in New York City and raised in Tenafly, New Jersey. Overly opinionated even before his voice changed, he wrote his embarrassing first reviews for the Tenafly Middle School paper. After graduating from the Loomis Chafee School in Windsor, Connecticut, he attended Cornell University, where he did an independent major in arts journalism through the College Scholar Honors Program. From his freshman year on, Wild was arts editor of The Cornell Daily Sun, where he bored and annoyed his fellow students with his glib perspective on music, film, and television. While at Cornell, he studied creative writing with William Kennedy, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Ironweed. Kennedy’s recommendation helped him get hired as an associate editor at Esquire after he graduated in 1984. In 1986, Wild was hired away by Rolling Stone. From 1988 to 1991, he served as music editor, supervising the magazine’s music coverage. In 1991, he moved to Los Angeles and concentrated on writing full time.
