Here you'll find almost all of the many Books wholly dedicated to 'the lad himself'. Unfortunately most, if not all, are now out of print. You can still find them second-hand if you look hard enough. So keep those minces peeled!

The Illustrated Hancock

by Roger Wilmut

Although the best impression of Hancock's skills comes from seeing the television shows, the many photographs taken of his work convey to a surprising degree the complex comedy character he built up. This book collects together over 150 photographs (many never published before), with personal and behind-the-scenes shots as well as production pictures from many of his TV shows and his cinema films . . . with a commentary by Roger Wilmut.
