Very good+ hardback in like new dustjacket SIGNED by the author. Only discernible fault to book is some minor spotting to the front end papers. Jacket as new. 1st edition 1st printing with correct number line sequence. Signed on the title page by Eric Idle, Weidenfled & Nicholson 2018. Illustrated. We know him best for his unforgettable roles with Monty Python. Now, Eric Idle reflects on the meaning of his own life in this entertaining memoir that takes us on a remarkable journey from his childhood in an austere boarding school through his successful career in comedy, television, theatre and film. Coming of age as a writer and comedian during the Sixties and Seventies, Eric stumbled into the crossroads of the cultural revolution and found himself rubbing shoulders with the likes of George Harrison, David Bowie and Robin Williams, all of whom became lifelong friends. With anecdotes sprinkled throughout involving Mike Nichols, Mick Jagger, Steve Martin, Paul Simon and many more, as well as the Pythons themselves, Eric captures a time of tremendous creative output with equal parts hilarity and heart. In Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, named after the song he wrote for Life of Brian which has since become the number-one song played at funerals in the UK, he shares the highlights of his life and career with the kind of offbeat humour that has delighted his audiences for five decades. This is a memoir chock-full of behind-the-scenes stories from a high-flying life featuring everyone from Princess Leia to Queen Elizabeth. We pack our books property and ship daily from the UK using recycled materials where we can.…

We are a small rare book dealer based in Cheltenham, in the UK. We stock, typically, less than a thousand books -- all of them chosen because they have a strong appeal to us, and we think they will appeal to others. We have ended up specialising for no particular reason than we like them, in art, antiques, aviation, music, Irish books, birds...and some fiction modern first editions! But a few other goodies have crept in as well.
