Well, those of you looking for Jerry's book, but not pleased at paying $20 for it might have an option. The local Sam's Club was selling them for about $11. I assume that other Sam's Clubs around the country might have it in stock as well.

Fans discuss where to buy Jerry Seinfeld's book at discounted prices, with reports of availability at warehouse clubs like Sam's Club and Costco for around $12 instead of the $20 retail price.
Got my copy yesterday at Costco. $11.99.

I've read the whole thing, and I gotta tell ya, there were more than a few times that I was laughing uproariously on the commuter train. A large percentage of it (oh, 75%) is material that, if you've seen his act or WATCH his SHOW, you are familiar with. It's in the same mode as a Bill Cosby book, where it's merely an organized transcription of his little bits.
It's nice to have the familiar ones down, (makes it easier to memorize), and some of the ones I've not heard before, as I said, killed me.
Is it worth the price? Yeah, and I feel cool to own it. It goes real fast, but, if nothing else, it'll make GREAT bathroom reading for years to come!
Could someone tell me if Sein Language is all about Jerry's life before the > show or his experiences while making the show. Is the book a must read for fans?

Neither, really... it's just Jerry making typical Jerryisms on lots o' topics. Has some background info on Jerry, but definitely not a biography. Still, it's pretty good.

Friends are the DNA of society. They are the basic
building blocks of life. If you have a couple of good ones,
treasure them like gold. There's nothing better. Ever look
at that MCI ad they have, "Friends and Family"?
Who do they mention first?
Your friends help you carry the big weight in life.
That big burden we've all got called,
"What the hell am I doing?"SeinLanguage
Life is truly a ride. We're all strapped in
and no one can stop it. When the doctor slaps your
behind, he's ripping your ticket and away you go. As you
make each passage from youth to adulthood to maturity
sometimes you just put your arms up and scream, sometimes
you just hang on to that bar in front of you. But the ride
is the thing. I think the most you can hope for at the end
of life is that your hair's messed, you're out of breath,
and you didn't throw up.SeinLanguage
Have you ever called someone up and you've disappointed when they
answer the phone? You wanted the machine. And you're always kind of
thrown off. You go, "Oh I uh, I, didn't know you were there. I just
wanted to leave a message saying, `Sorry I missed you.'"
So because of the phone machine, what you can have is two
people that don't really ever want to talk, and the phone machine is
like this relationship respirator keeping thses marginal, brain-dead
relationships alive. Why do we do this? Because when we come home we
want to see that little flashing red light and go, "All right,
messages." People need that. It's very important for human beings to
feel they are popular and well-liked amongst a large group of people
they have no interest in.SeinLanguage
