Fourth Estate has bought world English rights to a book by the winner of the YouTube Homegrown Comedy Hit of the Year award.
Editor Mark Richards bought rights to The Gap Yah Plannah by Orlando from Gordon Wise at Curtis Brown. The book will be published in autumn 2011.
The publisher said: "Orlando, the original Sloane-dog and intrepid gapper, will release his diaries to inspire other travellers to follow in his chunder-filled footsteps. From sleepless nights in Buenos Aires to charitable endeavours in Tanzanah, Orlando will give the low-down on the ultimate gap experience."
The YouTube Gap Yah video has received almost three million views since it was first uploaded.
