About this Item

The Brand New Monty Python Bok; written by the cast; edited by Eric Idle; illustrated by Terry Gillian and Peter Brookes; Eyre Methuen Ltd., London 1973. First edition. This book is pure, irreverent Monty Python, crazy beyond belief. An extension of their show. The title page is buried in the middle of the book. They wrote their own reviews Here is Monty Python s eagerly awaited second book. In it the themes and patterns of the first book are stated and re-stated, but with a new and perceptive dramatic intensity which is really triffic, absolutely triffic. And the terffic thing about it is it s so triffically good. On the first free endpaper is glued in a library withdrawal listing of people who have taken this book out see the photo. During the first part of the book they keep referring to Page 71, as if there is something incredibly important there look at the photo. This book has no surprises if you are a Python fan like me. This large format book is in near-fine condition in a very-good dust jacket that is now enclosed in a protective mylar wrap.

About this title

Synopsis

One of the most original and groundbreaking humor classics of all time, the Papperbok was compiled for Methuen in the early 1970s by the young Monty Python team at the height of their surreal powers and was published on the heels of the improbable success of the Monty Python's Flying Circus television series.

A surreal delight, the Papperbok was a testing ground for ideas equally as fresh and funny as the Flying Circus material. It is full of colorful and rude illustrations by Terry Gilliam, oddball instruction sheets, cod schoolboy stories about adventure and mischief, misleading horoscopes, informative and thrilling features-such as "Hamster: A Warning," "The Python Book of Etiquette," and "The London Casebook of Detective Ren Descartes"-zany competitions, fake editorials, spurious film reviews, and some of the oddest miscellany ever pressed between the pages of a book.

The extraordinary comic genius of Monty Python is on full display in this humor classic, too-long unavailable and now back by popular demand.
