Did anyone else watch A&E’s Biography on Monty Python? Remember in the final segment of the program Michael Palin was reading a Japanese guidebook to Monty Python locations in London?
I’ve scoured the web and I cannot find this book. Yes, I really, really want it. Does anyone know where I should look?

I just thought it would be a neat birthday present for a friend who’s into both Python and Japanese language and culture. However, it’s proving to be most elusive.

Gee, no one knows where to find Japanese books about England? Or are you just not talking?? Figgers, keep all the good stuff to yourself.
So? Did anyone else watch that episode of Biography? What did you think?
According to people on alt.fan.monty-python, A&E edited (or slaughtered) it beyond belief, leaving the best bits on the cuttingroom floor. Myself, I still found it rather educational, but I wished they would have shown some of the sketches in their entirety.
Spam!

That would have been redundant for any true Python fan, the really pathetic ones anyway. I was in a bookstore when the “all the words” Python books came out. After thumbing through one I realized I had absolutely no use for them. Even the MP crew realizes the true harcore/nerd/dweeb/fans have high expectations. When John Cleese and Michael Palin did the dead parrot sketch the did the sketch almost verbatim as it originally appeared on the TV show.
I’m still deciding of I want to get the DVD box set of all the television programs for $50…I’m so ashamed!
I think the book may have been a prop used solely for the A&E show.
