TV tie-in humour

Your essential guide to Pawnee, the charming, colourful, spit-in-your-eye fantastic and totally raccoon-ridden home of Leslie Knope and her Parks Department, as featured in the hit TV series Parks and Recreation.

Welcome to Pawnee- First in Friendship, Fourth in Obesity.

Let Leslie Knope (as played by Amy Poehler on NBC's hit show Parks and Recreation)

take you on a hilarious tour through her hometown, the Midwestern

haven known as Pawnee, Indiana. Meet the city's colorful

citizens, like much-loved public servant and man of nature Ron Swanson; learn about industrial giants such as Sweetums and the Kernston's Rubber Nipple factory; and explore hopping nightlife venues such as the Snake Hole, or indulge in the greatest waffles in the world at JJ's Diner (specialty meal- The Four Horse-Meals of the Egg-Pork-alypse).

The book also delves into Pawnee's rich and varied history, including the time the whole town

was on fire, or when that cult that took

over in the 1970s, and how we overcame decades of conflict with (and some unfortunate massacres of) the Wamapoke Indians to live in harmony. Everything's definitely totally cool with them now.

Packed with laugh-out-loud photographs,

illustrations, and commentary by all the characters from the show, Pawnee is a

must-read that will make you enjoy every moment of your stay in the

Greatest Town in America.
