Welcome to the Family.

Michael Imperioli, who played the inimitable Christopher, and Steve Schirripa, the lovable Bobby Bacala - who together host the hit podcast Talking Sopranos - lay bare the secrets of The Sopranos. In these pages you'll find where all the bodies are buried: the stories behind the stories, the backstage gossip, and, most important, the love, trust, camaraderie and friendship that a group of actors and their crew discovered together.
Woke Up This Morning is the essential companion to the seminal series, whether you're a first-time viewer or a longtime fan. Read it and you'll become a member of the family.

You got a problem with that?

'A spectacular tell-all about the making of the Emmy-winning hit television series' Publishers Weekly

'For Sopranos fans this one is an absolute must-read' Booklist

'I will be reading and rereading Woke Up This Morning ....These rollicking gabfests... bring together nearly everyone, on screen and off, who made the series a creative and cultural landmark. The freely offered admiration expressed by so many for their missing comrade and unofficial cast captain, Gandolfini, makes these stories about playing tough guys all the more tender' New York Times

'Ever wished you could hang out with the cast and crew of The Sopranos and just listen to them trade stories? ... There are plenty of tantalizing bits of trivia-Tony was Tommy Soprano in the pilot script; producers wanted Lorraine Bracco to play Tony's wife, but she said she would only consider playing Melfi, the psychiatrist-but this isn't just a trivia collection. Mostly it's about friends and colleagues getting together to pay tribute to one another and to a series that rewrote many of the rules of television. Love and respect for the show's star, the late James Gandolfini, permeates the book, as does admiration for the show's creator, David Chase, who started with a vague idea about a crook and his mother and built it into something that's almost Shakespearean in its thematic scope. For Sopranos fans this one is an absolute must-read' Booklist

'Essential for fans, with a revelation on every page ... Devotees will revel in the stroll into series minutiae' Kirkus Reviews

'A spectacular tell-all about the making of the Emmy-winning hit television series ... What makes this sing is the passion and energy brought by Imperioli and Schirripa and its indelible tribute to the late James Gandolfini. As Aida Turturro (Janice Soprano) recalls, 'He was there for you no matter what.' This is the ultimate book on The Sopranos, made by the people who lived it' Publishers Weekly
