"Any Office stan worth their salt needs a copy." - Bon Appetit
"A pretty package, large and wide, full of production art; it's solace that a sitcom about a paper company generated a warm printed artifact on nice paper. Like the show itself, there are also recollections here so tender, I felt myself tearing up, and rejected plots so ridiculous, I convulsed with belly laughs. Of these TV oral histories, it's also the smartest on how actual creative choices play out." - Chicago Tribune
"This definitive oral history...is as sharp and well crafted as the comedy that inspired it. ... A true insider's guide filled with sweet surprises for fans and the brainy charm to make new ones." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
