Days of Our Lives Hits The Bookshelves. (Updated)
Days of Our Lives, Corday Productions and Sony Pictures have joined together to partner with Sourcebooks to produce books all about the wacky world of Salem.
The books will include behind the scenes accounts of the show’s history as well as novels about some of its most popular characters. You can look for the first book starting in May of 2010. It’s called, “The Days of Our Lives: The Untold Story of One Family’s Dream.” The second will be, “True History of The Days of Our Lives.”
In the fall, there will also be an illustrated coffee table-style book released to celebrate the 45th year of production of the show, as well as a set of novels.

Executive Producer Ken Corday has issued this statement on the project: “I am thrilled to be working on such an amazing project that will give our loyal viewers the ability to understand my family’s journey through theatre, radio, and television to the creation of Days of our Lives. These books go one step further into revealing what has made this show, its actors, and its characters thrive and survive for 44 years. Not only will readers gain insight into behind-the-scenes stories, but they will also learn the history behind this staple of a show.”
