Actress Joanna Lumley is to release a memoir this autumn, The Bookseller revealed yesterday. Publishers Weidenfeld & Nicolson has snapped up rights to the illustrated memoir, titled Up Close and Personal, that's due for release in October.

Orion's non-fiction editorial in chief, Michael Dover, who purchased the world rights, said: "To work with Joanna Lumley has to be every publisher's dream. Not only is she ultra-professional, hard working and savvy, she is also a very good writer indeed. She has hoarded, happily, the many photographs and memorabilia that encompass the many aspects of her idiosyncratic life and career. I have no doubt this will prove a fascinating book."

Joanna Lumley's previous book No Room for Secrets, published in 2004, sold more than 100,000 copies. She said: "I have never tried to mix words and pictures before. I love writing and have far too many photographs so I am looking forward to the challenge of putting them together in a book."
