Borat to write a guidebook

Borat is to publish a guidebook, offering dubious travel advice for visitors to both America and Kazakhstan.

Sacha Baron Cohen has signed a deal with Random House imprint Flying Dolphin Press to write the book.

Itwith be two guides in one, the publishers say, titled both Borat: Touristic Guidings To Minor Nation of U.S. and A. and Borat: Touristic Guidings To Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.

Publisher Suzanne Herz said: ‘There is one and only Borat and we are honoured to have him join our pantheon of international writers.’

Borat’s semi-improvised movie about his travels across America have grossed gross more than £125million worldwide since it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival a year ago.
