Sacha Baron Cohen's fictional Kazakh TV reporter Borat Sagdiyev has signed a deal to write a travel book.

The star of 'Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan' will pen two books in one, half of it a guide to the US for Kazakhs and the rest a guide to Kazakhstan for Westerners.

The deal is with Flying Dolphin Press, an imprint of Random House Inc's Doubleday Broadway Publishing Group.

Suzanne Herz, publisher of Flying Dolphin Press, said: "There is one and only Borat and we are honoured to have him join our pantheon of international writers."

'Borat: Touristic Guidings To Minor Nation of US and A' and 'Borat: Touristic Guidings To Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan' will be released in hardback later this year.

Sacha Baron Cohen's film, released last year, earned an Oscar nomination for best adapted screenplay and Cohen won a Golden Globe for his performance.
