› Find signed collectible books: 'Monty Python's Tunisian Holiday: My Life With Brian'Book summary:[via]One of the finest and most accurate records of the making of the film that I have ever read. I just wished I could remember what actually went on then.
--Terry Jones
If anyone can remember more about making the Life of Brian than me, its Kim Howard Johnson. He came, he saw, he got into costume. While the rest of us were fighting to upstage each other, Howard had a notebook hidden in his toga.
--Michael Palin
Since Ive forgotten everything, it will be great to read what was actually going on in Tunisia. Just as long as Im the most quoted, the most vital to the shooting, and the most interesting. You dont have to mention my stunning good looks if you dont want to.
--Terry Gilliam
Of all the books that I am planning to read in my dotage, there is none I am more looking forward to than Monty Pythons Tunisian Holiday. . . . Not only does Howard Johnson know more about Python than anyone outside of the IRS, he was in Tunisia for most of the filming of Life of Brian, and is the only person who captured every thoughtless remark, heated exchange, embarrassing detail, petty insult, and spiteful act of indifference.
--John Cleese
Kim Howard Johnson was invented by Graham Chapman during an idle moment on the set of The Life of Brian. Lets invent a person, he said. An American fan from the Midwest, chimed in Michael Palin, who keeps a daily diary of Python filming. And then doesnt publish it for years and years. How we laughed, and each day wed make up stuff this person would write about us.
--Eric Idle
In 1978, Kim Howard Johnson ran away to join the circus---Monty Pythons Flying Circus, that is. The Pythons converged on Tunisia to film their timeless classic, Life of Brian, and Howard found himself in the thick of it, doubling for nearly all the Pythons, playing more roles in the film than John Cleese, and managing to ruin only one shot. He became the unit journalist, substitute still photographer, Roman soldier, peasant, Biggus Dickuss double, near-stalker, and, ultimately, friend and confidant of the comedy legends. He also kept a detailed journal of what he saw and heard, on set and off, throughout those six weeks.
The result is a unique eyewitness account that reveals the Pythons at work and at play in a way that nothing else written about them could do. Now, for the first time ever, the inside story of the making of the film is revealed through the fly-on-the-castle-wall perspective. Even the most diehard fans will get a fresh take on the comedy greats through some never-before-revealed nuggets of Python brilliance: what John Cleese offered to exchange for suntan lotion; Terry Jones directing in drag; Michael Palins secret to playing revolutionaries and peasants; Graham Chapman gets naked; Terry Gilliam gets filthy; Eric Idle haggles; the secret of the Thespo-Squat; Mrs. Pilate; talk of George Harrison; the cake-flinging that jeopardized the production; badminton, impromptu cricket, and erotic frescoes; and the first-ever presentation of Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.
Here, uncensored, are the legendary Pythons in their prime. It was a period of comedy history that will never be duplicated, and Monty Pythons Tunisian Holiday captures the wit, the genius, and the sheer silliness of the six men that comprised Python.More editions of Monty Python's Tunisian Holiday: My Life With Brian:

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Pythons'Book summary:Over thirty years ago, a group of five Englishmen and one wayward American, re-wrote the rules of comedy. Monty Python's Flying Circus, an unheralded, previously unseen and practically unprogrammed half hour of sketches, hilarities, inanities and animations first appeared on the BBC late one night in 1969. Its impact on the world has been felt ever since.[via]
From its humble beginnings as late night entertainment on a British TV channel that went off the air before midnight, it blossomed into arguably the most influential movement in modern comedy. They found the Holy Grail, they detailed the life of the Savior-also-ran Brian, and when we were lost, they explained The Meaning of Life.
Now, those purveyors of dead parrots and silly walks are going to tell us something more: Their story. In their own, intimate, never before heard words.
The Pythons by The Pythons is the definitive word on all things Pythonesque (the only word invented by a modern comedian which is listed in the Oxford English Dictionary.) 30 years of insight, hindsight, and bad sight - now told for the first time. Stuff they're never remembered before alongside stories they'd forgotten to say, coupled with things they couldn't say then and even more things they can't pronounce now (with a healthy dollop of things they would never have said in the first place if any others had been in the room at the time.)
The Pythons by The Pythons is a unique look at arguably the most important comic team of the modern age, lavishly illustrated with 1000 photographs and illustrations, many culled from the teams' own personal collections, many seen here for the first time. A tome, a tombstone, the definitive word on all things Python, as told by all things Python - do you want Spam with that?More editions of The Pythons:
