The Chaser Annual

The Chaser Annual is a printed compendium of stories from The Chaser, published yearly since 2000. The book typically features a collection of the best headlines from The Chaser's website over the preceding year, presented in the style of their defunct print newspaper. Originally published as part of The Chaser's newspaper's business, the Annual continued despite the closure of the newspaper in 2005, with editions continuing to be released through to 2010.
