Love this book! Perfect for the fans of the show, I have a lot of coffee books based on different series but this is one of the best. Why? We get insights on almost all episodes of the show and some new and fun features of the cast as well, with super glossy pics!

This book only covers the first 6 seasons but it was great for an über fan like me :)

Will and Grace should be up there with either Friends or Sex and the City for living a second life through memes/YouTube video essays/podcasts/ even books. But now it's main legacy will probably be the Debra Messing/Megan Mullally feud (Y'know, if the landmark representation the show did isn't enough for you anymore). It even sounds like Sean and Eric gave up on the rewatch podcast! So a coffee table book from the middle of the show's run is a good place for me to scratch my itch for behind the scenes information about the show until I look for DVDs with commentary
The book did a great job describing the writing process for the show and describing each actor's strengths, as well as how they come up with the tone of the jokes (The audience didn't respond well to Grace being too out of pocket for Karen comebacks, Karen's inappropriate jokes had to approach the line without crossing it, they waited until season 5 to make Will regularly funny instead of just the straight man). I liked reading about seasons 5 and 6 being prepared differently due to new showrunners (A fact most people skip for when they blame the show getting bad on Leo exclusively).
Learning about episodes the writers disliked was good. I liked reading about the season 6 supervised episode that was split into 2 parts badly, because I feel better for not liking it. I wish they got a little more meta, like why they chose a less traditional actor with another gig to play Grace's husband, why they began to use too many celebrity guest stars in seasons 5 and 6, and if they dealt with any Friends comparisons.
Cons: Very difficult font to get into, no page numbers.

It was great fun to read the behind the scenes, how the cast of actors were chosen for the spot, the episode summaries, and everything else that made Will and Grace come to live.
