Canongate has beat off stiff competition in a 13-publisher auction to secure The Mighty Boosh Book this week. Editorial director Nick Davies paid a "competitive sum" for the title, which will be written and illustrated by Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt.
Agent Caroline Chignell at PBJ said that although the pair were offered higher advances, they chose Canongate because it "epitomises the philosophy of Boosh—risk-takers and creative individuals". Davies is convinced "it will be the biggest humour book of the year".
The news came as Virgin Books signed up a business memoir by founder Sir Richard Branson. Business Stripped Bare: Adventures of a Global Entrepreneur is due in September from Virgin UK and US. It is the first title in a five-book deal agreed when the Random House Group acquired 90% of Virgin in March 2007.
