Monty Python's The Life of Brian / Monty Python Scrapbook

Monty Python's The Life of Brian/MONTYPYTHONSCRAPBOOK is a large format book by Monty Python,[1] released in 1979 to tie in with their film Monty Python's Life of Brian. As the title suggests, it consists of two separate books joined together. The first contains the film's screenplay, illustrated by black and white stills. On the reverse side is the scrapbook, which contains a variety of material such as scenes cut from the film, newly written material plus unrelated items, including the lyrics to Bruces' Philosophers Song. The book was assembled by Eric Idle, with assistance from Michael Palin.
