Loyal Park It readers know and love my friend , who joins me at least once a season to gab about the show. She’s been writing a book about the making of Parks and Rec for over a year and today, I’m really excited to offer Park It readers a first look at her book jacket. And it’s not just a book jacket …. it’s the best book cover in the world.
I can’t even begin to describe how stoked I am to read this book. She’s interviewed almost anyone who’s everyone involved in Parks: Mike Schur, Adam Scott, Kathryn Hahn, Aubrey Plaza. Yes, she even talked to Amy Poehler (I’d pass away). And freakin Nick Offerman is even writing a foreword!!
She knows far, far more than I do about the show’s BTS and I’m confident it’ll quickly become the go-to bible for all Parks fans. I’ve already told Jennifer that I’m going to need a framed, signed poster of this book cover asap. I’m thinking I’ll slowly build a shrine to Parks in my apartment, reminiscent of Ms. Brigg’s shrine to Randy Jackson.
Park It fans, please support another loyal Parks and Recs fan by preordering her book!!
In case you don’t know anything about book sales (I didn’t until I started working at Substack), preorders matter A LOT. They help with things like placement on fancy bestseller lists, so if you’re sitting here being like “sounds amazing, I’ll grab it at Barnes and Noble when it’s out!” I would say to you: “That’s great but no! Order it right now and then when it shows up, it’ll be a fun little treat. Treat Yo Self to Jennifer’s book.”
Counting down the days until April 7th, 2026 already!
Love it so much!
I was so excited to see the cover after you guys talked about it in the last episode! It is indeed fantastic!!
