Coming Soon to Our Coffee Tables: ‘The L Word Book’

Best ... Gift ... Ever.

For the lesbian in your life or any ardent fan of the phenomenal Showtime drama, you may want to submit your order for The L Word Book now. The hefty hardback includes never-before-seen photos -- many snapped by stunning star Jennifer Beals -- cast commentary, and mementos like bits of scripts, call sheets, and production memos.

Proceeds from the big book will be split among several philanthropic causes close to the show’s heart, including the Matthew Shepard Foundation, Mia Kirshner's I Live Here Projects, a Project of ETINA and The Pablove Foundation .

You can even personalize the gift by uploading your personal photos to be inserted into your copy of the lovely L Word volume. Perfect for the die-hard fans who lived alongside the fictional ladies on their epic journey.

Chief in organizing the collection, series star Beals, who portrayed Bette Porter for six super seasons, has given the book’s website a note about the volume’s genesis, excerpted below:

“During the six years we were shooting The L Word, I kept a photographic journal of the cast and crew, born out of a profound desire to create a bulwark against my rapidly eroding memory. It was an era of my life I was eager to preserve: I wanted to remember the cast, the readthrus, the dinners, the rehearsals — everything. I took pictures and saved my scripts, callsheets, and memos and organized them every year. I used them for reference as the seasons moved on, but frankly I held onto them because I knew I would get a kick out of looking at them as the years passed. Mostly, I wanted to remember the joy, because no matter where the storylines went, we always managed to have fun ...

The L Word as a series was, at its core, about community and that played out behind the scenes as the cast formed its own community. But the series also was about all of you who made our collective journey possible. That is why I wanted to make the book available to fans of the show.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Beals ”

Additionally, a series of large-format prints and limited edition prints of select photos from the book will be available later this year.

Books will be available this month. We can’t wait!
