The Simpsons Guide to Springfield is not only a guidebook to the best sites in Springfield, but also a hilarious book to read and relive some of the finer moments of the show. You'll get brutally objective reviews of the city's attractions, lodging, dining, nightlife, shopping, and annual events. Furthermore, some of Springfield's top citizens sound off on "What's Right With Springfield."

Reading this guide is easier than driving a monorail. Lots of full-page graphics provide visual gags. The prose is dripping with sarcasm. And for die-hard fans, lots of inside jokes keep the chuckles and guffaws coming. You'll read hysterical descriptions of hot spots like the Ah, Fudge! Factory, the South Street Squidport, the Two Guys from Kabul deli, and Shotkickers.

In addition, the essays by some of Springfield's folks will have you rolling down Springfield Gorge. Enjoy reading "Come for the Fun, Stay for the Guilt: A Vacationer's Guide to Worshipping in Springfield" by Reverend Lovejoy, or "Everybody into the Cool: A Kid's Guide to Springfield" by Bart Simpson, Esquire.

Matt Groening and Scott M. Gimple bring us this fantastic guide to our favorite animated series. Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons, has authored other books, such as Bart Simpson's Guide to Life. He also founded Bongo Comics Group, which has produced comic books like Simpsons Comics Strike Back and Simpsons Comics Spectacular.

This book is so much more than a fan reference guide. It provides endless snickers and giggles at the clever and witty descriptions of Springfield's history, sites, and residents. So, get your shots, wear your rubber suit, and head to Springfield with this guide in hand. You'll love it!
