The Gosh-dang-it-mommy-fudging-ham-sandwich Reactions of Kimmy Schmidt

A limited-edition, tribute book to Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt‘s wonderful and quirky debut season. This is a compilation of Kimmy Schmidt’s funniest, quirkiest, most heartfelt reactions made infinitely more memorable by her choice of words, construction of sentences, and outdated innocence. Each reaction is accompanied by the episode number and context in which it happened, its time stamp, and the type of emotion that fueled it.

We have a few un-numbered copies left, available here. There is nothing wrong with them that excluded them from being limited edition, we just did extras.

Full set of photos can be found on our Flickr account.

The book.

The book is meant to be a very literal reflection of the show: it’s colorful, it’s bubbly, it’s unapologetically cheerful. The color palette follows Kimmy’s: Yellow, pink, and purple. The pages of the book alternate between yellow, pink, and purple stock and so do the inks. Pages are french-folded and bound with a sneaker shoelace because Kimmy loves to wear sneakers. The book is sent in a box with purple crinkle paper because crinkle and is accompanied by three gumballs, one of each color. Yellow, pink, and purple. It was a limited edition of 100 not to be exclusive but because all the books were handbound by us and we couldn’t have handled any more, not even if we made waffles out of it.

The top of each page shows what kind of reaction it was, on what episode it happened, and at what exact point it did. The bottom of each page describes what the reaction is about.

Silvery limited-editioning.

Delighted to report the 100 books sold out. Below are some photos from putting them together.
