Covering more than three decades of hilarious songs, videos, concert performances, and his life story in words and pictures, and featuring an introduction, lists, tweets, and photo captions from Yankovic himself, Weird Al: The Book is the ultimate companion piece to an extraordinary career.Praise for Weird Al: The Book:"Part biography and part pop culture museum, Weird Al: The Book is a treat.... A gorgeous look at Yankovic's life."-Huffington Post
