Incredibly funny, visually dynamic, surreal, musical, and wildly creative, The Mighty Boosh is unlike anything else on television, and this beautifully illustrated humor book promises to be the same. Boosh art director Dave Brown—aka Bollo the gorilla—has designed countless graphics based on Boosh jokes, including a poster for the Howard vs. kangaroo boxing match and a vintage Penguin-looking book cover for Howard Moon's Trumpet Full of Memories. Other artists have illustrated such essentials of the Booshiverse as the a cappella songs known as crimps and the eclectic hairstyles. Every Boosh fan will love Old Gregg's Baileys-fueled watercolors, Vince's Excuses for Being Late, and Bob Fossil's Guide to Dance.

Review
"Something quite special . . . peculiar and magical . . . Stories, comic strips and new insights into the Boosh world make this a must-have for any devotee." —Time Out
"Goes beyond a throrough reference guide . . . its fresh, hilarious, and brilliantly put together material will make any Boosh fan love the show all the more." —booshusa.com
"If there had ever been a collaboration between David Bowie, Anthony Burgess, and Maurice Sendak, author of Where the Wild Things Are, it might have turned out something like this." —Observer

A kaleidoscopic creative collection

THE MIGHTY BOOK OF BOOSH! A MUST FOR ANY FAN! This is a beautifully packaged, psychadelic collection of the creators inner workings, plus all their friends and fabulous characters. Colourful, impeccably detailed and brilliantly illustrated, you can peruse photos, travel stories and "real-life" musings from each character, e.g. Old Gregg's watercolours of Slash, or Howard Moon's Facial Expression Series.
PS Don't forget to check the page numbers!!! Very clever!!!

Ridiculously Entertaining

This book was totally worth the long wait it took to ship.
It's hard to put into words how much fun it is to read this book! You can immediately tell that a lot of love went into this project. Every page is clearly well thought out, in both content and design. Even the page numbers have amusing little sentences to accompany them. The writers have stayed true to their colorful characters and made sure to include as many as possible (if not all) within the pages of their book. Just like the show, itself, nothing about this book is dull (except maybe Howard's bits, according to Vince).
Just order it now, lest you anger a certain Cockney green geezer, from whom Jack the Ripper learned his "tricks."

The Boosh is loose!

Format:Hardcover
Finally! From live acts, to radio, to TV, and now to literature, The Mighty Boosh really "spans the genres" with some incredible flair. The Boosh Boys put enough outlandish hilarity into this little curio to enthrall everyone, be they tentative newcomers or manic die-hards. The Mighty Book of Boosh isn't really a book at all; it's an experience!
I swear, if this book doesn't make you laugh yourself into an asthmatic attack then you have my sympathy!
