"The L Word Book" is ready to hit shelves
While it’s unclear whether it will actually include any pictures of girls in tight dresses who drag with mustaches, The L Word Book is now available for order. The long-awaited collection by series star Jennifer Beals includes more than 400 behind-the-scenes photos, cast commentary and other tidbits from the show’s six seasons on air.

The proceeds from the 218-page tome will go to several charities including the Matthew Shepard Foundation, Mia Kirshner's I Live Here Projects, a Project of ETINA and The Pablove Foundation. Besides Jennifer’s personal photography, the book has pieces of scripts, callsheets, production and more from memorabilia from The L Word. But, come on, you know what we really care about are the pretty, pretty pictures.

The book can be ordered from its official website, lwordbook.com. It can currently be purchased by itself or with a custom dedication option for $39.95. In the future, you’ll be able to order the book with your own personal pictures included (for $42.50) as well as individual prints (no pricing yet).

The website offers up what looks like some page previews. A sampling of some of the other pages:



So, do you plan to buy your very own copy of the ultimate lesbian scrapbook?

Jennifer Beals takes great pictures, I'm impressed.
O_O
it looks like a poorly
Completely.
I'll pass.
~I may not look like it, but I will eat the mailman.~
Yep, Bad Yearbook
HA!
maybe the whole idea was
maybe the whole idea was making it look like a poorly designed yearbook. A printed reminisce of the good old times. I like to see it from the point of view.
I think I'll save that $40.
ugh.
I'm gonna have to pass. I really loved the first 5 seasons of the L Word but I feel like this is a bit of overkill, is it not? Before purchasing it I'd love to leaf through it. I'm concerned that the posted pictures are the best ones!

Already ordered it
You're funny
Lmao at you being L Word's bitch. Enjoy the book.

L WORD BOOK= me excited
Dude I cannot wait! I've been waiting for this for like forEVER.
I just went to the official page and was scrolling through the images and saw the pic of Erin Daniels laughing and my heart literally sank.
I thought to myself "It makes me so sad that she's dead. She was so beautiful."
Then I realized that I was looking at the actress... whose character died.
F***ing Ilene Chaiken...
joy sadness relief anger
lol you went through so many emotions.
~Sarah
Wow... this actually looks
Wow... this actually looks pretty good.
Go here for my view on all things lesbian: http://allthingslesbeau.blogspot.com
Personally, I wouldn't waste
Yeah!
You can give to charity in
You can give to charity in more successful and forfilling ways, without the creepy shadow of Ilene Effing Insult Chaiken as the middle woman. I cannot let go of the notion she probably has her vicious paws in this somewhere; as much as I would like to believe Jennifer and Mia were allowed to use the L-word "copyrighted" name for charity.
And still, they could have really, really made the layout prettier. 40 BUCKS DAG NABBIT this better be all nude fold outs of the stars and their steamiest kisses, printed with 24 carat gold on parchment hand-made of virgins and have an Iphone related service inside it.

Sweet!
Well... I'm an L word bitch (still LMAO maclay!) so, I'm pretty sure I'll be ordering it in the near future...as soon as I can buy it on amazon.com.
Thank u Jennifer Beals!
Good idea!
You just reminded me the gift cards I have on amazon.com...
Now I will wait too :P
I'm hella broke :(
After looking at the website
After looking at the website posted and reading what JB wrote, I think I'm going to have to indeed buy it :)
Darn 6th season though! Just can't let it go haha
ummmm..yeah,I'm good.
I would love to see it in
I would love to see it in person. $40 is kind of expensive, considering I wasn't a huge fan of the show. The photos look so amazing though. But the layout looks ugly. I mean, they just pasted a bunch of photos anywhere on white pages. They could have made a nicer book on Blurb or Snapfish or something.
http://lesbiandaily.blogspot.com/ <---Check it out. :]
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I'll buy it...
Once it's in the 10% off rack in Barnes & Noble...
Worth It For The Email from JB
Receiving a thank you email from JB was the icing. I'll save it forever (seriously).
~ This kind of certainty comes but once in a lifetime. ~
hrm
i'd probably only purchase it if it displayed full on nude photographs.
Yeah
YEEESSSSS!!
YEEESSSSS!!
I don't really like the
This has to be the most
This has to be the most entertaining thing to ever come from this series.
The downside is...
/nods
I'm getting it..for sure
Jennifer Beals is a talented photographer, and my mum offered to buy it for me. :) Score! XD I've seen some pictures, it looks cool.. :P

Nobody understands 'cause we don't play by the rules, I can't imagine why they care 'bout what we do-Everyone knows
How Cool Is Your Mum! Wow.

eventually
The L Word Book: May look lame online, but in person...
it's a beautiful little journal. Almost better than the pictures, which are fun, are the "interviews" and scraps of call sheets and articles. It's wonderful to read through it and look with fond memories at the pictures.
Oh yeah, and there ARE pictures of JB throughout. Not as many as of the rest of the ladies, but enough to make this JB fanatic a happy woman.
Off to curl up with a glass of wine and the book.
~ Every night I cut out my heart. But in the morning it was full again.~
I figured as much....
I figured that they would post the sample pages online and not the real deal. If they showed the real book the only purpose of buying it is for charity.
I can't wait to grab my copy! I Fell in love with all the characters/actresses and can't wait to do it all over again.

Hello Gang, this is my first post =) I'm honored to be a member.
I signed up here and at another site to discuss this book, plus this is an awesome site.
I understand some of the fist responses, I don't think those pictures are doing a lot of justice to the actual book.
I'll begin with the bad, not enough Pam Grier, but that's just me.
Now for the good: absolutely everything else. Honestly, I loved it. My husband ordered this for me because we were both fans of the show. He more so than me, lol, yet I was/am a fan. We began watching because of Pam Grier, had no idea what the "L" stood for throughout the whole first ep. No matter we were hooked.
I quit watching after s3 (dismayed) he continued, unfazed. I just recently finished the series. Most was good in my opinion, some crazy! However, I still liked the series as a whole.
The book, its great, I love the pictures, the stories, and interviews. I couldn't put it down. The best parts are the personal notes and insights. Although I wasn't as invested as some of the devoted fans, I loved learning about the cast. I mainly liked the candidness with members like Rose, and D. Sea, Rachel, and MM. Though there's lots from JB, and LH as well.
I also think that had just some of the text from cast members been shown as examples from the book on here, and other sites that maybe some of the comments may have been a little different, but maybe not. I just think you really have to see it to describe it IMHO.
My friend who was not a particularly huge fan of the show, (ok she hated it) read my book, and has ordered one of her own.
That someone would invest the time and energy to do this for fans and charity is also very cool!
Again, I'm glad to be on this site=)
Own it, Love it
