Summary: And Now For Something Completely Worth It
Review: A hilarious book! Definitely worth reading over and over. This book is ideal for Python Maniacs and was hard to find up until this point. This is even funnier than "Wenn ist das Nunstuck git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beirhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt Gersput" (Whatever that means) If you haven't read the Pocketful of Python Series yet, What in the bloody hell are you waiting for? Attention, Python Maniacs... Read this book. You'll love it!

Summary: not just for brits
Review: since i saw "holy grail" 6 years ago, (i was 10) i have been hell bent on finding everything the pythons ever did. unfortunately most of my friends don't share my enthusiasm for british comedy, but i think it should be known that the occasional american recognizes comedic genius when she sees it. for all those who live in areas where mention of the pythons is scarce, this is a must have. you'll be quoting them in your head at school, at work, on the bus, wherever. just ignore the people who turn and look when you burst out laughing.

Summary: Picked by Terry Gilliam
Review: This whole "Pocketful of Python" series strikes me as just a bit odd. Much of it was released to mark Monty Python's 30th Anniversary, and it seems like something of a cash-in. After all, it's just portions of other Python books crammed into several volumes in a slightly new way.
That said, I have gotten an awful lot of enjoyment from the series (hence the four star rating.) This selection of material edited by Terry Gilliam has some very good material. There are very few copper bottom Python classics in it (other than the Prince in the Tower), there are some of my favorite unappreciated bits, like The Old Storyteller, Adventures of Walter the Wallaby, What to Do When Meeting the Royal Family, and the German Lumberjack Song.
In addition, there is a preface by Eric Idle (at the back of the book) which is probably the funniest of the "Pocketful of Python" series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is Abuse....Stupid Git
Review: Well, what CAN be said? It is good to see humour spelled with a pair of U's (per the King's English). Whilst doth contain numerous funny bits, perhaps the American palate is not suited for wit which possesses intellectual subtleties.

For our American friends I recommend Rosanne Arnold, fluorescent plaid sport-coats (with matching white 5cm/2" belt), premium Wisconsin 3 week old processed cheese slices, Napa Valley's finest blush and a domestic rum tipped Colt cigar.
