Hand-drawn floor plans and richly imagined architectural illustrations tell the story of television’s most memorable on-screen sets and scenes.

Come explore where Lucy and Ethel baked a monstrous loaf of bread, where Phoebe performed “Smelly Cat,” where Jim and Pam fell in love, and countless other homes, offices, and towns as familiar to you as your own living room. Illustrator Iñaki Aliste Lizarralde has expertly rendered sixty floor plans from thirty-five of the most memorable television shows in modern history, puzzling together the layouts with an architect’s eye for detail and a director’s sense of storytelling.

TV fans will delight in the interiors and exteriors from shows like Friends, Seinfeld, and The Simpsons, where characters and plotlines converge to create worlds so mesmerizing you want to binge-watch season after season. With immersive illustrations from shows across decades and countries, this truly unique art collection offers hilarious TV moments, Easter eggs, and behind-the-scenes trivia to test even the biggest superfans.

Title: Beautiful sketches, quality information
Review: I bought this for a family member for Christmas and then after it arrived and seeing the content decided to buy another copy to gift for a friend. It is beautifully done with quality information for any TV fan.The only thing to note is the text is somewhat small so keep in mind if you are buying or gifting to someone who might have a hard time with small print.But overall great book to add to any TV fan collection.

Title: A fantastic, creative & informative book - must-read for anyone who loves interior design!
Review: I found Inaki's social media accounts while looking for resources to use in designing TV shows into LEGO sets. As an artist, he truly lays out the room/town upon every single page, demonstrates changes & favorite moments over time, all complete with notes. Even shows that are outside my era & interests have enough detail that I can almost paint the set out in my head & know how the location should feel.The only real & genuine complaint anyone can submit at all is that there are not nearly enough pages for shows that weren't included in this book (though plenty on his Instagram), which will hopefully be remedied with a second volume (ad infinitum, IMO).

I have it as a Valentine’s Day gift and my partner loved it too!!There are so many fantastic drawings that were not included in a first book, that I really hope they have a part 2ndI can’t stress this enough. BUY THIS BOOK. It’s worth it.

Title: Fun book, especially for TV buffs of 80's and 90's!
Review: I've been following this guy's art for a while, and was so happy when he published a book with several of the floor plans. I grew up on TV from the 80's and 90's, so it was great to see such sets as the Golden Girl's house (who knew it was such an odd shape!) to Frasier's condo (Why is there an extra hallway to nowhere in front of Daphne's room?!)

Title: Fun!
Review: Super fun to read and has wonderful illustrations to enjoy. It’s like a photo album. What nostalgia! I spent many hours watching many of these shows and at different times in my life. They become part of your family. I can’t imagine the time spent researching to get the illustrations right. There are additional wonderful details, like when each series ran and the studios they were recorded at, and also some interesting trivia.

Title: My dreams come true
Review: I’ve always wished I knew how families on tv shows lived. Or at least what their floor plans looked liked. And this book with its beautiful illustrations brings each show to life. I love this book so much!! I hope there’s a sequel😀

Review: Brilliant book. Bought for my daughter for her birthday and she was over the moon. We always love looming at floor plans and to see plans from some of our favourite shows is great.Love all the little extra details like maps of the towns and the text is interesting too.

Review: Ha sido una idea genial hacer este libro. Para todos los que vemos series desde hace muchos años es un libro estupendo que hace mucha ilusión tener y poder comentar con alguien que comparta la misma afición. Hay detalles maravillosos que a cualquiera se le habrían pasado por alto y en los que caes al ver con detalle los dibujos. Es un libro que cuando le echas un vistazo siempre te saca una sonrisa. Tengo varios planos que le compré al autor hace tiempo y espero poder seguir haciéndolo hasta conseguir tener todos los de mis series favoritas.

Review: Un libro perfecto para regalar a entusiastas de las series y una muestra fantástica del trabajo de dibujo a mano, reconocido hasta en el New York Times, de Iñaki Aliste Lizarralde, que lleva años realizando estos planos de las casas y escenarios más míticos de la televisión y el cine, no falta detalle.
