Private Eye , the fortnightly British satirical magazine, has published various books and other material separately from the magazine since 1962.
The principal publications are anthologies, for example the Private Eye Annual, and ongoing series such as the Colemanballs collections (in even-numbered years), and diaries of the Prime Minister. "The Private Eye Annual" has been published in a variety of forms since the early 1970s and traditionally contains reprints from the middle section of the magazine; satirical articles and cartoons.
The magazine has reprinted several hard-hitting articles and made them available as separate pamphlets. One such article was their report on the 2001 outbreak of foot and mouth disease in the United Kingdom, and the response the government gave to it.
In former years, the magazine published collections of their strip cartoons. In particular, The Adventures of Barry McKenzie , the exploits of an uncouth Australian expatriate in Sixties London, written by Barry Humphries and illustrated by Nicholas Garland, was published in three collections, long since out of print and now collectors' items. The Bill Tidy strip The Cloggies was also issued in this form.
Each year the magazine publishes a number of Christmas cards, which typically feature cartoons on Christmas themes from regular contributors.
Patrick Marnham's The Private Eye Story (1982) was the first major attempt to tell the history of the magazine. A fiftieth anniversary biography by Adam Macqueen was published in 2011.
Anthologies of the unintentionally humorous newspaper cuttings which have formed a regular part of the magazine since its earliest days.
A mixture of revised reprints of material featured in the magazine, retrospectives and entirely new material.

Colemanballs is a term coined by Private Eye magazine to describe verbal gaffes perpetrated by sports commentators. Coleman refers to the surname of the former BBC broadcaster David Coleman and the suffix -balls, as in "to balls up", and has since spawned derivative terms in unrelated fields such as "Warballs", "Dianaballs", "Murrayisms",, and "Borisballs". The all-encompassing term "mediaballs" has since been used by Private Eye as its coverage of gaffes has expanded.

Prime Minister parodies are a long-running feature of the British satirical magazine Private Eye, which have been included in the majority of issues since the magazine's inception.

Such are their popularity that the parodies usually find their way into mainstream culture far beyond simply being viewed as a joke within the pages of Private Eye, and are subsequently mentioned often in other journalistic appraisals of the individual in question.
