Format:Hardcover
This book technically contains all the PBF done, including some never-published strips and personal comments and an interview. All of this is packed in a nicely produced book with a colourful hard cover and a generous size.
I personally love the style of these strips, and would have rated it 5 stars. The reason for not doing so is that I love the strips so much that I had previously (when it appeared) bought the previous book (Trial of...). Lovely book too, but the differences in content between the too are rather minimal. More pages? Yes, but now you have one bigger strip per page. Luckily this book is not too expensive.
So, go for it if you don't have the previous book!

Perry Bible Fellowship is an online comic strip that features gorgeous artwork and a unique sense of humour. Bizarre, frequently disturbing and often just plain silly, it's not a million miles from The Far Side, but with a jet-black streak that somehow manages to elicit sympathy for the characters even while you're laughing. Despite the colourful drawings and alluring cover this is not a book for kids.
The Perry Bible Fellowship Almanack is far superior to previous PBF publication 'The Trial of Colonel Sweeto' as it doesn't just have all the comics found in that edition, but every strip ever published, plus extras including an interview with the creator and comics that have never previously been available.
This alone should be enough to tempt any PBF fan, but it's also worth noting that this gorgeous hardback is the kind of thing you'll be happy to have on display in the living room. They could have packed two or more strips together, but each comic is enlarged and given its own page. This book is surprisingly big, the paper from good quality stock and it has a reassuring weight to it, which make its relatively low price a pleasant surprise.
If you've never experienced PBF before and enjoy dark, absurd humour then you're in for a treat. Don't read it online first, just buy this book.

I bought this for my brother in law for his birthday, having seen a small cartoon strip that Nick Gurewitch had published in the UK version of Maxim magazine in about 2004. I found the website by chance, and the link for the book on Amazon from there. One of the sharpiest, funniest, wittiest, driest cartoonists I have ever seen. The brilliance is the simplicity. 3-4 frames have summed up whole scenarios, and left me in stitches, and the artistry is really amazing. Buy this book for anyone you know with a sense of humour!
