Dey Street Books
<p>Do you want to get to know the woman we first came to love on Comedy Central's <em>Upright Citizens Brigade</em>? Do you want to spend some time with the lady who made you howl with laughter on <em>Saturday Night Live</em>, and in movies like <em>Baby Mama</em>, <em>Blades of Glory</em>, and <em>They Came Together</em>? Do you find yourself daydreaming about hanging out with the actor behind the brilliant Leslie Knope on <em>Parks and Recreation</em>? Did you wish you were in the audience at the last two <em>Golden Globes</em> ceremonies, so you could bask in the hilarity of Amy's one-liners?</p><p>If your answer to these questions is "Yes Please!" then you are in luck. In her first book, one of our most beloved funny folk delivers a smart, pointed, and ultimately inspirational read. Full of the comedic skill that makes us all love Amy, <em>Yes Please</em> is a rich and varied collection of stories, lists, poetry (Plastic Surgery Haiku, to be specific), photographs, mantras and advice. With chapters like "Treat Your Career Like a Bad Boyfriend," "Plain Girl Versus the Demon" and "The Robots Will Kill Us All" <em>Yes Please</em> will make you think as much as it will make you laugh. Honest, personal, real, and righteous, <em>Yes Please</em> is full of words to live by.</p>
