Publication history

Gravity Falls is an animated television series created by Alex Hirsch. In the show exists a collection of journals written by a once-unknown author, Stanford "Ford" Pines. One of the protagonists Dipper Pines, finds the third book while hanging signs at the forest. Antagonist Gideon Gleeful held the second book, and protagonists' great uncle and the author's brother Stanley Pines held the first book. The journals include entries from the author's documentation of Gravity Falls. In the series, Dipper uses the third journal as his own as he documents his summer in the town. [7] [8]

The book was announced at New York Comic Con 2015, referred to as "Dipper's Journal". The book was released months after the series finale on July 26, 2016; in addition to the world of Gravity Falls , the book also documents elements from Rick and Morty franchise (with which Gravity Falls had previously had a mini-crossover with [9] ), in a Plumbus and Zigerion appearing. A promotional informercial for the book, with Kristen Schaal, Jason Ritter. and Alex Hirsch reprising their roles from the series, was released by Oh My Disney on March 28, 2017. [10] [11]

The book became a New York Times Bestseller in August 2016, [12] remaining on the bestseller list for in excess of 47 weeks. [13]
