The books has actually been somewhat controversial due to three of the shows original executive producers, Matt Groening, James L. Brooks, and Sam Simon, refusing to be interviewed, and actively trying to thwart the book's publication. However, from what I read about this book it doesn't seem like it will contain any explosive revelations for fans. Most of us know that Matt Groening is more of a cartoonist than a brilliant sitcom writer, and as such the show's unique humor that developed over the first few scenes was very much a product of a collaboration of writers.
That being said, Matt Groening has managed to create two brilliant shows that have very different styles of humor, The Simpsons and Futurama. That's a lot more than Seth MacFarlane can claim.
