Best coffee table book ever! Being a huge Boosh fan, I was delighted when I saw how much care and effort went into this book. It’s not just a cheap ploy to get die hard fans to shell out cash on crappy merchandise.
Open it to any page and you will be assaulted by the visual spectacle of life in the Zooniverse or the Nabootique via photos, stories, and illustrations from all of the main and recurring characters of the tv series. Best of all is an excerpt from Howard Moon’s truly awful jazz novel,...more

THE MIGHTY BOOK OF BOOSH is an oversize, full-color collection of mostly the same subject matter as the British comedy television show, ‘The Mighty Boosh’. The show was on between 2004-2007 and featured Julian Barratt as ‘Howard Moon’ and Noel Fielding as ‘Vince Noir’. Theirs was an hallucinatory world, where gorillas and other beasts talked, strange characters lurked in the forests, and conversations were often mind-spinning. There was singing, dancing, and all kinds of antics. They really went...more
It's the Boosh, so of course it's brilliant! Plush, with fantastic Zappa-esque artwork. Lots of new material and some recaps.
My favourite part had to be Julian's Jazz-Noir masterpiece, 'A Trumpet Full of Memories' by 'Howard Moon, Jazz Detective'.
Much as I appreciate Noel, Julian has always been my favourite of the pair with his surreal, satirical take on various forms of long-suffering, driven, fanatical, unfashionable and slightly tragic artists such as the under-appreciated jazz maverick, the...more

Well I read the pocket version but it basically the same. Except the pocket version has more stuff.
Just fantastic. Noel is a brilliant artist, both he and Julian are hilarious. Dave Brown is perfection and Mike Fielding is witty and sharp :)
Everything you could want from The Mighty Book of Boosh. Really. Especially loved Old Gregg's watercolours, Bob Fossil's Dance Moves, Howard Moon's acting faces etc.
Only thing that would have completed it would have been a short piece on Montgomery Flange's guide to acting or something but other than that - PERFECTION. Love the Boosh!

Oh My Mighty Boosh!
The book is beautiful. The pictures are beautiful. The illustrations are wonderful. Some pieces plucked from the screen, plenty of new fodder as well.
I found when starting the book, that I had to read the WHOLE thing in the voice of whichever character was narrating. Both in silence, and aloud. Turns out, Im a good Bollo.
Anyways, its super-great. I only gave it 4 stars right now, as I feel that it needs another read-through before getting the 5th. Just as the first time I wat...more

The boosh!
The most beautiful coffee table book there is. People can't help, but pick it up, start laughing and then want to read the entire thing aloud to you whilst hold g it up so everyone in the room can see the pictures. I never mind, even if it is the hundredth time! I love all how visual it is and for die hards all the great behind the scene pics are and stories are fab as is everything.
For my first wedding anniversary last year, we bought each other books, which counts as paper, the traditional gift! I bought him this book which we both ended up loving, since we loved the tv show. It was so very quirky with many jokes and stories relating back to the show. The layout was different on almost every page which was such a treat! love it, love it!
As a big fan of The Mighty Boosh I really enjoyed the 'Book of Boosh and fans and newbies will love this too. It's has all the main characters except oddly enough, The Spirit of Jazz. Full of surrealism, fun, colour, cartoons and stories. It reminds me of those 1980's annuals except this is one much is cooler! Like most say, it's perfect of the coffee table too.
Definitely a worthwhile sight for Boosh fans. The graphics and photos are stunning, and I enjoyed the stories and various rantings. It was really exciting to peer into Noel Fielding's journals. I'm glad I'll have this book around in the future--I imagine it will provide a dose of whimsy, play, and inspired creepiness as needed!
I love the Boosh. Easily one of my favorite comedy shows. For those who have never heard of them this book will seem like the scribblings of either a mad hatter or a retard, but to those who enjoy creative, surreal, and slightly raunchy humor, this is fun stuff! Lots of great stuff that isn't in the show, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZsCBp...
The Booshiest Book ever written by a human (well...); fitting as it's a fantastic compilation of collages, anecdotes, lists, and stories written by the cast of the show while in character. It's a great way to introduce people to the Boosh and is pretty much an automatic recommendation for fans of the show.
The Mighty Book of Boosh is such a cool book, and if you love the Mighty Boosh, you have to own this! Its like someone looked inside my brain and took out all the funny and kooky things and put it in words and pictures so I could read it and visually devour it, which is just how I feel about the TV Show. This book makes me feel awesome every time I open it. You can never get enough of the Boosh!
This book is absolutely brilliant! Visually stunning and absolutely hilarious. It's a must for any fan of the Boosh, and would be a great way to introduce people to the show. I loved the little rhymes by the page numbers and the content was just fabulous,clever and very funny.
Very surreal and very funny. It helps if you have seen the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh", but if reading this book serves to get people interesting in this VERY funny and VERY wacky and VERY surreal show, then it will have served a secondary purpose. So......
"Come with me now on a journey through time and space...."

This was my introduction to the Mighty Boosh and I think I'm going to have to find a way to learn more about it.
These guys are very very strange in the best of ways. I love how many little details there are all over this book. So much humor packing in these pages.
There was probably a lot I didn't get because I'd never seen anything like this before, but I still found it very entertaining.

I think I should create a shelf just for this book! Read it one and a half times yesterday. Great combo of past and present, mixed media. Maybe just created to make more money on tour but I love it! The Christmas story is priceless.
One of the best comedies of the 21st century ! I hate to withhold that coveted 5th star, but comparing this book to the show I had to adhere to the British TV comedy to book 5 star gold standard (Monty Python's Big Red Book).
This book is random nonsense. Most of it taken from the British television series. If you love the t.v. show you'll enjoy the book!
You have to actually know the show to get the humor of the book.

Since I love the Boosh anyway, the book form of them is just as entertaining.
I have three copies, because everyone seems to think it's a brilliant gift for me.
Hah...

I love the Mighty Boosh. The best way to read this book is in nibbles. Non-fans won't understand or probably enjoy this. But for a fan, it's pretty great fun.
This is just like the show! I love the Crack Fox and Old Gregg sections and overall it is a beautifully presented book that every Boosh fan should own!
Its good but nothing special just a must for boosh fans, i like the pictures lol!!! its not really that funny either but its still a nice book to own.
LOVE the Mighty Boosh? Imagine! having all of their wonders written down for you to read at any moment you like..
...exactly.
...exactly.
A very interesting and visual book to read, especially for fans,...but it couldn't justify its initial price tag for me.
This book had me laughing from page one, I also am a mighty fan of the T.V series of the almighty boosh. It is simply amazing.
Absolutely the best show on British television. The book is a necessary companion. I will treasure it. Thanks Mike and Nat!
Great bit of Boosh fun, slightly hit and miss in some places, although when it hits, it's fantastic.
Fantastic mixture of everything 'Boosh', I don't know what more a fan could want.
