The Brand New "Monty Python" Papperbok

One of the most original and ground-breaking humour 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 broke the mould for tie-in books, and was a testing ground for ideas equally as fresh and funny as the Flying Circus material. It is full of colourful and rude illustrations by Terry Gilliam, odd-ball 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 Rene 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 humour classic, too long unavailable and now back by popular demand.
