In the tradition of the #1 best-seller SeinLanguage, Bantam Books proudly presents the first book by Paul Reiser, television's sharpest, funniest observer of love, marriage and other mysteries of life. A veteran comic performer, Reiser is best-known as the co-creator and star of the highly-rated NBC comedy, "Mad About You", which Time Magazine called "The season's best new sitcom" in its 1992 debut. Every Thursday night more than twenty million viewers watch as Paul Reiser reveals the most intimate and hilarious scenes of a marriage. Now for the first time, Reiser brings his trademark wit to the page in a book that will delight his eagerly-awaiting audience, and anyone else who has ever fallen in love -- or tried not to. In Couplehood, a New York Times bestseller for more than 40 weeks, Reiser reflects on what it means to be half of a couple -- everything from the science of hand holding, to the technique of tag-team storytelling, to the politics of food and why it always seems to come down to chicken or fish.

"This book will make you laugh out loud, and is more proof positive that Reiser is a funnier man than Jeffy Seinfeld can ever hope to be. Tracy and I laughed so hard while reading it that we cried, snarfed, and then fell off the beds in Bryan's hotel room!" — Eden (5 out of 5 stars)

" Super quick and funny read. "
" This book was one of my favorites. Paul Reiser is funny. It has been a few years since I read this book, so my review isn't "fresh" in my mind, but I remember laughing out loud. Less of a story than a collection of thoughts ... entertaining all the same. "

" A pretty funny book back in the mid 90's when his show was around. I got to meet Reiser twice when he was on book tour and I was working for Crown Books in the Dc area. "
" To be fair, I don't find his stand-up act funny either and I thought "Mad About You" was rather ordinary. "
" :) ..AND it say it all .. "
" I often have the problem that the stand-up stuff is funny, only when they are standing up and telling it (or on tape..Bill Cosby comes to mind...he is just funnier when you are listening/seeing him)-- But Paul Reiser does a nice job of "talking" on paper. I enjoyed this book quite well. "
" Not nearly as funny as Couplehood. "
" Easy read that was pretty funny. "
" I loved this hilarious and candid look at marriage and love. "
