BIG VIEWS: The Shop has entered its sixth season, with no sign of slowing down. After four seasons on HBO, it now finds its home on Youtube, where it uploads new episodes weekly. Its channel boasted 680k subscribers, with each new episode garnering 300-500k views. With its simple format and endless pool of potential celebrity participants, The Shop continues to be an immensely popular show. FOREWORD BY LEBRON JAMES: Features an insightful foreword from LeBron James discussing The Shop. FAMOUS FACE: Much of The Shop’s popularity comes from the face of the show: LeBron James. James is not only the most famous active basketball player but one of the best-known and most widely admired figures in the country. He’s a philanthropist, activist, and actor who has become well-known for his activities outside of the basketball court. His brand is extremely prominent, with all sorts of merchandise available on his online store and elsewhere. Having such a recognizable and adored figure at its center makes The Shop: Stories from Behind the Chair eminently desirable, even to shoppers who haven’t heard of the show itself. UNIQUE PRODUCT, TESTED FORMAT: The Shop itself is a unique show: a series of candid discussions between LeBron James and an ever-changing group of celebrities from all corners of sports and entertainment. This is the only book on the market to put The Shop on the page, bringing a distinctive show into a tried-and-true format. Previous books like Downton Abbey: A New Era and The Art and Making of Hogwarts Legacy demonstrate the success of aesthetically pleasing tie-in coffee books.
