A Local Book for Local People picks up where the second series of The League of Gentlemen left off – to be precise just before. Viewers of the programme saw the Local Shop attacked by a mob from Royston Vasey and burnt to the ground. Local Shopkeepers Tubbs and Edward were last seen engulfed by flames and falling masonry. But unbeknown to Edward, Tubbs had been keeping a scrapbook of things she had found on the moors. She called it 'a local book for local people'. Recovered from the smoking ruins of the building, 4th Estate now presents an exact facsimile of that scrapbook.

The League are famous for their characters and production values and A Local Book . . . has been put together with a similar painstaking attention to detail. It contains fold-out maps, photographs, brochures, guides to sites of local interest, Herr Lipp's pink pomplet, Val and Harvey Denton's toad – themed wallpaper, and much, much more. Imagine a cross between Monty Python's Brand New Bok and The Blair Witch Dossier and you're getting warm. This is the funniest, the blackest and the most innovative comedy book for many years.
