Monty Python's The Life of Brian/MONTYPYTHONSCRAPBOOK is a large format book byMonty Python,[1] released in 1979 to tie in with their filmMonty Python's Life of Brian. As the title suggests, it consists of two separate books joined together. The first contains the film's screenplay, illustrated by black and white stills. On the reverse side is the scrapbook, which contains a variety of material such as scenes cut from the film, newly written material plus unrelated items, including the lyrics toBruces' Philosophers Song. The book was assembled byEric Idle, with assistance fromMichael Palin.
The book is dedicated toKeith Moon, who was to appear in the film but died just before filming began.[2]
