Brand's first autobiography, "My Booky Wook", was released on 15 November 2007 and received favourable reviews. Andrew Anthony from "The Observer" commented that "Russell Brand's gleeful tale of drugs and debauchery in "My Booky Wook" puts most other celebrity memoirs to shame". The second book, "", was released on 30 September 2010. Brand signed a £1.8 million two-book deal with HarperCollins in June 2008. The first book, "Articles of Faith", examined Brand's philosophy and consisted of a collection of columns from "The Guardian" that first appeared there in 2007 and 2008. The book was published on 16 October 2008, and also includes Brand interviewing Noel Gallagher, James Corden, and David Baddiel about football.
