More Goon Show Scripts

Milligan, Spike
1973. Lansdowne Press , Melbourne, Australia

Said to be No.2 in the Second Series, this illustrated well-loved book is, I fear, only likely to interest true devotees of the Goons with a Forward written by the then H.R.H. Prince of Wales (the current King Charles of course) who remains an enormous fan still. Clever but puerile to the extreme, Goons humour is so unique that it can be quite divisive too. First published in 1973 by The Woburn Press in England.

Condition Report

Cover Fair Condition - Note: With laminated boards on a yellow background, the corners are both rubbed and bumped though with a very sound spine still that is chipped and rubbed also being heavily used over many years with unavoidable shelf wear. The rear board has a memorable photo of Milligan, Secombe and Sellers together holding leek vegetables for some obscure reason - No Dust Wrapper as issued
Overall Good Condition - Note: Internally the text and pages are really free of any defects of note with a little flecking on the book edges being the only issue other than the worn cover as below.
