Never read the books but I was a big fan of the tv series, especially the pig farm and the grot shop

looking for info on the books I found wikipedia (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fall_ ... ald_Perrin) says
The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin is a British sitcom starring Leonard Rossiter in the title role. It is based on a series of novels written by David Nobbs and produced from 1976 to 1979. Nobbs adapted the screenplay for the first series from the novel. Some of its subplots were considered too dark or risqué for television and were toned down or omitted.
and
Perrin's brother-in-law Major Jimmy Anderson, an army officer with no grasp of organisation or leadership, coming to eat because of a "bit of a cock-up on the catering front"
The page on David Nobbs gives the books as
The Death of Reginald Perrin (1975, later reissued as The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin)
The Return of Reginald Perrin (1977)
The Better World of Reginald Perrin (1978)
These are so old now that a second-hand booksearch webite is probably the best way to find them.
