Publisher:Eyre Methuen, London
Publication Date:1978
Binding:Hardcover
Condition:Good
First Printings.
NOT books about needlework but rather the collected scripts of the eponymous BBC comedy series which ran for several episodes in all (1977 through 1979, although the very first episode - Tomkinson's Schooldays - was broadcast as a one-off film in Jan 1976) starring Michael Palin and Terry Jones.
Includes, "Across the Andes by Frog" and "Curse of the Claw" among others. 186 pp., laminated pictorial boards as issued. Bumped noticeably at the corners and spine ends but otherwise in Good or better overall condition, free from owner marks etc. The "tanned" paper stock is part of the book-design - i.e. meant to appear as an old relic along with "Tomkinson, Lower IV b" in simulated hand-writing at the top corner of the title page.
Volume 2 includes three scripts only, Golden Gordon, Roger of the Raj and Whinfrey's Last Case. 95 pp. and with faux tanning of the block as per Vol 1.
Both books SIGNED (for us in person) by Terry Jones at the title pages, uncommon thus and a nice item.
