A Del Of A Life is Sir David’s third autobiography, following 2013’s My Life and the 2017 follow-up Only Fools And Stories.
Sir David said: “In my first two books, I enjoyed sharing my life with the great British public, and I was overwhelmed by their support and kindness.
“In my new book, A Del Of A Life, I am delighted to share with readers some of the hard-won lessons I’ve learned along the way – how to dream big, how to work hard, and how not to fall through the gap in the pub bar…”
Sir David is best-known for playing wheeler-dealer market trader Derek “Del Boy” Trotter in sitcom Only Fools And Horses, as well as DI Jack Frost in crime drama A Touch Of Frost.
His other TV roles include Granville in Open All Hours and Pop Larkin in The Darling Buds Of May.
A Del Of A Life: Lessons I’ve Learned will be released on October 29.
