Tim takes a look @ The Might Book of Boosh
By the entire Boosh Cast Published by Canon Gate
As a recent aficionado of the Boosh, this book was a hardback blessing.
A tome dedicated to the oddity that is the minds of Fielding and Barret is entertaining and fun. Compiled by Dave (Bollo) Brown he’s done a grand job.
The material is new and sourced from the 3 seasons and the live show (the letters of Bollo to ’Mr Peter Jackson are highly amusing).
The book has a wealth of sketches by Noel of varying Booshish entities and hand written stories, which have a child like exuberance to them.
This can be best described as a coffee table book (or should that be Flirtini Table book)?
My few qualms are that I would of liked to have seen some background to the creation of the characters, but this is a first person book, so no luck there! There’s a reasonable amount is reused material too. It would have been nice to have full versions of the songs from the series.
Despite these there are many, many excellent parts.
My personal favourites:
* The Hitchers tale of how he trained the ripper.
* Naboo’s book of Black Magic.
* The Adventure of Dixon Bainbridge. ‘A Turkish Challenge’.
* Vince’s epic tale of his time with KISS
Also a special mention goes to Old Greggs Watercolours of Slash from Guns and Roses (his love before Howard Moon)
Overall: A worthy buy. A crimp reference guide is always useful J
