Why Must Read Best Wishes, Warmest Regards: The Story of Schitt's Creek?

I preordered this book the instant it went up on Amazon, but before I even got my copy I saw Dan and Eugene Levy at the Beacon Theater in NYC hold a conversation about what went into the book and why. They discussed tons of tidbits (Dan even got Moira's missing baubles wrong from the first episode, saying they were bracelets, when the crowd reminded him they were earrings that she misplaced -- "Don't *at* me!" he said, hilariously). They anecdotally discussed content from the book while projecting it on-screen, telling the audience little tidbits (helped by fan accounts like Schittssheets on Instagram) with factoids like: 1. You never actually hear the swear word "sh*t" in the TV series. "F***" yes, but "sh*t" no. 2. Moira never utters the name of the town "Schitt's Creek" at any point during the show. 3. Eugene Levy rejected a scene which placed him on a beach shouting at the ocean in frustration. He didn't want depression to be a factor in his character. 4. When informed that they would continually add dark and preposterous wrinkles to Twyla's backstory, Sarah Levy simply asked --paraphrasing-- "And I still need to say all of this while smiling?" 5. The Johnny Rose-authored book 'Fast Forward To Success' features current-era Eugene Levy posing on the cover, but with a Photoshopped younger Eugene Levy head superimposed on the book jacket. Upon looking through the book itself (event-goers received a copy with their ticket, which was nice since I got to look through it before my Amazon copy arrived) they have heaps of fun details and sections like: 1. The Moiracabulary, which goes over every unique word that Moira uses during the show, such as Eugene Levy's favorite "bombilate" and Dan's favorite "Dangersome." 2. There's a map and guide to all of the misadventures that Alexis is described as getting into on the show, such as being kidnapped by Somali pirates from David Geffen's yacht. Eugene Levy described that only the best of the best of the elite get on David Geffen's yacht - "The Kardashians haven't been on David Geffen's yacht." 3. Fan art (but beautiful fan art) graces the book in places like The Crows Have Eyes 3 - The Crowening movie poster gallery. 4. A gallery of every outfit Moira wore during the series. 5. A gallery of Moira's wigs. 6. Intros written by every actor/character on the show on what it meant to them. 7. Massive amounts of behind the scenes details, like when Annie Murphy and Dan Levy found each other wandering through the sets on the final day of shooting, and just collapsed onto a couch and cried it out as the momentum stopped and the emotion caught up with them. 8. A gallery of fictional books conceived and designed to complement Fast Forward To Success on a bookshelf (the backstories for every character go super deep, so the writer's room would know how to write each character as the series progressed). This is not a casual coffee table book, filled with big pictures and pull quotes in large oversized fonts. This is a big book of substance for every Schitt's Creek fan out there, and is in my opinion indispensable if you consider yourself a fan of the show. I'll be keeping the copy I got at the live event, as well as the one I preordered on Amazon. The one I received at the show will be the one I pore over and thumb through in the upcoming years, or to pull as a reference while watching the show for further insight. My 2nd copy will remain on the shelf, in pristine condition forevermore, or until it is needed to gift to a future fan of the show.
