Blue Man Group gives fans a sneak peek of how their first-ever book, "Blue Man World," was made with the release of a trailer on the group's YouTube page.

Available October 2016, "Blue Man World" is a graphically rich, textually dynamic, cheekily clever deep dive into the world of the Blue Men, as well as a hilarious cultural satire. Including archival photographs, specially commissioned artwork, infographics and interviews with Blue Man experts (both real and potentially not real), it answers all the burning questions including: Who are these Blue Men? Where do they come from? Why are there only three of them? What drives their curiosity? What do they hope to accomplish?

Published by Black Dog & Leventhal, "Blue Man World" is available for pre-order now at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and IndieBound. Customers who upload their pre-order receipts for "Blue Man World" before 11:59 p.m. ET on Oct. 3, 2016 to www.blueman.com/25/bluemanworld will receive a commemorative 'Even More Tubes' poster commissioned from artist Andrew DeGraff, celebrating the publication of "Blue Man World" and 25 years of entertaining more than 35 million individuals in over 15 countries.

"Blue Man World" is one of several new Blue Man projects in 2016 as the global entertainment phenomenon celebrates 25 years of living in full color.
