Synopsis
A Private Word to the Reader
You are currently holding in your hand . . .
. . . well, actually, God knows what you are holding in your hand, you are after all adults, and what you hold in your own right hand is entirely up to you . . .
. . . you may, after all, have this in your left hand and something else in your right hand and you will probably have held far worse things in both your hands than this . . . and hey! . . . No! . . .
Stop that! Miss Johansson, I said, "Please hold my calls . . ." Honestly. Hollywood!
Anyway, what you are about to read-or have read to you-is a new book that is the first active collaboration of the Monty Python chaps for many, many years. In fact, the first book written and produced by the Pythons, themselves, since 1979. No, they are not all dead. Okay, some of them have been a bit quiet recently, and one or two have DNR notes by their bedsides, but the point is five of them are still technically alive and that, if not exactly cause for rejoicing, may well be cause for a new book. And this is it!
So hold whatever you like in your right hand while you read this book. Because laughter is jolly good for you. Even if it can make you blind.

Review of their live showsby MrsPib

November 15, 2009: After the success of Monty Python's Flying Circus in England, the Pythons took to the road to do a live version of the show. This is their account of what happened. Some venues were wildly enthusiastic and some didn't get it. They travelled in trains, planes, and with stubborn nearsighted limo drivers, and it's all in this book told in the Python's own words. All the escapades are here for our enjoyment. They even include a script from the live show at the end. If you are a fan of Monty Python, you will love this book. If not....piss off!!!
