Stef, can you stick to full, correct Queen's English please? The usage of 'txt spk' is strictly against site rules. Thanks.
In answer, there are a number of script books available. Off the top of my head, Fawlty Towers, Green Wing, Rising Damp, Blackadder, The Office, and Porridge are all available to buy, and I'm sure that there are others.
If it's okay to post links in here?
Robin Kelly's site has a wealth of useful info.

as well as some top scripts I notice. Ahem.

Perhaps not the best choice of phrase, considering.

I've got the script book to Bottom series 2 and some of South Park, and I've had a glance through The Office, and the problem I find is that they are not in strict sitcom format ie like you would prep on Script Smart or other software. When I read scripts I not only want to see the dialogue but I also want to see how it should all be formatted so that I can learn from it.
I would much rather see the 'actual' scripts rather than the scripts in a book. Does this make sense? Sadly, it appears difficult to find actual scripts of sitcom on the internet.

I was under the impression that (at least some of) those did present them in-format!
