No, really. From actor's anecdotes to TV tie-ins, sardonic spoof letters to the oeuvre of Gyles Brandreth, The Rutland Dirty Weekend Book to How to be a Wally, these criminally ignored works of genius (well, OK, not all of them) have contributed more to our culture than a tractorload of Dan Browns.

Where would we be without The Sloane Ranger Handbook? How did we ever live before the advent of Wicked Willie's Guide to Women? What if Paula Yates had never published Rock Stars in Their Underpants? It doesn't bear thinking about.

Which is why a major new TV Cream project needs your help. What are your memories of these classic books? Did you have a crack at searching for Masquerade's golden hare? Did you get The Goodies File for Christmas, and spend the following Boxing Day wallowing in the world of Edna Tole and PC Bent? Are you a devotee of such toilet book perennial illustrators as Larry and Willie Rushton? Did you try to return your copy of Monty Python's Brand New Bok to John Menzies because there were fingerprints all over it? Have you collected all of Nigel Rees's Graffiti series, and don't care who knows it?

Whatever your stories or musings regarding these pile-'em-high present ideas, big or small, rambling or short, essential or tangential, we'd like to hear from you. Drop us a line at THIS ADDRESS and we'll be delighted. And don't forget to mark your envelope '101 Uses for a Dead Christmas Book'.
