Review Quotes: "Other celebrity books are full of anecdotes that have mostly been told ad nauseam on talk shows and interviews over the years. But chapter after chapter, Richards' book is littered with stories about his time before, during, and after Seinfeld that feel genuinely fresh--even for obsessive fans of that series."--The Daily Beast
