*''Hyacinth Bucket's book of etiquette for the socially less fortunate''
This was first published in 1993, and is a light-hearted guide to manners, as seen through Hyacinth Bucket's eyes. It is based on the TV series' scripts and contains many black-and-white photos of scenes from the show.<ref>{{cite book| title=Keeping Up Appearances: Hyacinth Bucket's Book of Etiquette for the Socially Less Fortunate| isbn=978-0563369752| last1=Clarke | first1=Roy | last2=Rice | first2=Jonathan | year=1993 | publisher=BBC Books}}</ref>

*''Hyacinth Bucket's Hectic Social Calendar''

*''It's Bouquet – Not Bucket''
This was published in late 2009, the book includes rare photos which were taken during the filming of ''Keeping Up Appearances''.

====Overseas books====
Due to the popularity of ''Keeping Up Appearances'' in the United States, books about the series have also been published across the Atlantic.

*''Keeping Up Appearances: A Companion to the Series''
This comical series guidebook was published in the late 1990s by WLIW21. It was co-authored by mother-and-daughter writers Georgene and Mary Lee Costa. It features summary descriptions of each episode, cast and crew biographies, series photographs and an interview with Harold Snoad.

Since it was written during the filming of the final series of episodes, Snoad included the co-authors of the guide as extras in the episode "The Fancy Dress Ball".
