A former editor for USA Today, A.S. Berman, has put together a new book about Gilmore Girls. Berman, who has written other insider books about television and film, is releasing ‘The Gilmore Girls Companion‘ in July, 2009. The book gives an unauthorized behind-the-scenes look at the series; it will include interviews as well as insights into each episode of Gilmore Girls.

According to the author, he chose to write about Gilmore Girls because it was a “groundbreaking show that remains an important cultural experience for many fans around the world.” Berman was driven to know what went on behind the scenes of Gilmore Girls and what the actors thought of their experiences. Hopefully the final result gives us all some of that insight!
You can pre-order ‘The Gilmore Girls Companion’ here for $19.95.

Any idea of the release date in the UK?
shows how strong the show is for them to be releasing something like that so long after it has finished.
Ooh very cool! I’m excited. I definitely can’t wait for that to come out. Looks great, can’t wait for July.
I’m the publisher, and just wanted to say that Aaron’s book promises to be Great. As for UK orders, it’s best for non-USA customers to get the books from amazon. Thanks!
Im Sad! have looked on Amazon both co.uk and com and they do not have it available to pre order. if anyone spots anywhere that does send to the uk please can you let me know – failing that Will put it in the diary (told you I was sad) and look again nearer July. Really looking forward to it!
No worries, Suzi. If past experience is anything to go by, the book will show up on Amazon about a month before it’s actually released. And if for some reason it fails to do so, we can always make sure you get a copy. We’re pretty easy going at The Gilmore Girls Companion
[...] a moment to say “Thank you” to Arieanna Schweber and GilmoreGirlsNews.com for their writeup yesterday about The Gilmore Girls [...]
Aaron – very much appreciated – thank you.
That’s a very Stars Hollow attitude.
Thanks again
Suzi
It will be awesome to read this book. There is no way to have too much Gilmore Girls in your life!
I couldn’t agree with you more, RaeDae
I CAN’T WAIT for this book to be released! I am Gilmore Girls Addict, as my fiance likes to call me. I cannot go a single day without watching an episode. I am so obsessed that I even got my haircut exactly like Rory (Alexis) as she had it on Season 7. If I buy a piece of clothing I will say, “Omg that’s a RORY skirt or that’s something Lorelai would wear.” And not to mention the fact that I am a coffee addict. I’m really THAT in love with this show. My goal is to see Lauren Graham on Broadway and bringing a few GG memorabilia for her to sign. Can’t wait for this book. I searched on Amazon.com and still nothing yet.
definitely hoping it comes out soon.
I need my Stars Hallow fix.
Does anyone know the release date of this book? There isn’t anything on Amazon about it yet. Very excited for this book to come out, can’t wait to read it!
Hi all,
It looks like The Gilmore Girls Companion will be coming out more toward Oct. 2009 than July (you can follow its progress at http://gilmoregirlsbook.wordpress.com/).
I’ve realized recently that there is no way to speak to every single person I would like to for this book, but there are two or three people that I wanted to give ample opportunity to respond to my requests.
That said, I’m moving from the research/interviews stage to writing the book this week. I really hope everyone enjoys it. It definitely is a labor of love
