4.0 out of 5 stars red, August 5, 2004

By	Robin Goodfellow (Land of the Fairies) - See all my reviews

Monty Python's Big Red Book has a lot of material from the show, which makes it a good one. This may not take you that long to read, but I think it'll be worth it. I first read this over my friend's house a few years ago, and I thought it was cool, so I got myself a copy.I'm surprised the spam song is in it with the lumberjack song. It's a nice thing to read right before you go to bed.Look, just read it yourself and see what you think.

3.0 out of 5 stars Blue, May 11, 2000

By	Mr. A. Pomeroy (Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Monty Python's Big Red Book (Mandarin Humour) (Paperback)

Inevitably, this is a big blue book. My hardback copy dates from 1971, and originally cost 1.50 ukp. It's a fairly slim collection of material based around the first couple of series of the show - an advertisement for 'Whizzo Chocolate Assortment', a series of introductions from increasingly-flustered newsreaders, pages of classified ads, and more than a few naked women. It's much less effective than the television show - the transcriptions lose a lot without the delivery, and the original bits seem rushed. It has recently been re-released, and you can probably read it all whilst standing up in the shop.

5.0 out of 5 stars thin python is better than no python, December 29, 2004

By	cleartrueblue - See all my reviews

It isn't huge. It's laced with themes from the tv shows.

But there are opportunities unique to the form:

ACCEPT ANY 3 of these great classics entirely FREE as your introduction to the THE PYTHON GUILD and you get one free tub of dung (tick if required).

Need I say more?

2.0 out of 5 stars Bigger rip-off than final rip-off
First of all, this book is neither big, nor red. It's quite thin actually, and is blue. There is limited new material in it, and the actual new material isn't very special. Read more
