Tracey Takes On is a 1998 book based on the HBO sketch comedy series of the same name, and is authored by its star Tracey Ullman. The majority of the book's material is taken from the show's first two seasons. Sketches are presented in the form of letters, newspaper articles, diary entries, magazine interviews, questionnaires, and so on. Each character gets its own dedicated font and letterhead. The book is illustrated with official character press photos and screen captures. Like the series, each chapter opens with a personal story from Ullman in relation to each chapter's subject. Unaired or unused sketches and some new material can also be found in the book. The book also comes with character biographies and paper dolls.
