The New Discworld Companion (Gollancz) 2 reviews Terry Pratchett
Gollancz, 2004
An inventory of imagination
+ All the Information Ever!!
The wonderful thing about reading encyclopaedias is that there are no rules to follow. From cover to cover, if you wish. Selecting topics of personal interest and ignoring all else, if that's your preference. There's pleasure gained by arbitrary random choices as well as with following ...

The Pratchett Portfolio (Discworld) 4 reviews Terry Pratchett
Gollancz, 1996
For Discworld fanatics only
+ Worthwhile addition for any Discworld fan + Discworld lives!
The Pratchett Portfolio is an impressive little book, but only serious Discworld fanatics will want to invest in acquiring it. It is quite large in format and quite thin in content, consisting of pictures and small biographical vignettes of some of the Discworld's most prominent personalities. ...

A Tourist Guide to Lancre: A Discworld Mapp (Discworld Series) 1 review Terry Pratchett, Stephen Briggs
Transworld Publishers, 1998
Good, But The Other Maps Are Better
This map is a good map for those people (like me) who are addicted to Pratchett. Like the others, it helps so much with the visualisation of the places of the book (hubwise, rimwise - it all gets blurred after awhile). However, the map's only negative aspect was that it was a very large map with ...

The Wit and Wisdom of Discworld 16 reviews Terry Pratchett
Harper, 2007
Great fun for Pratchett fans!
+ Good if you're a PTerry fan, otherwise, read the original books.
There's not much to say about this book, aside from "buy a copy." Anyone who loves Terry's Discworld enjoys his humour and wit. Having what are arguably all the best lines from each book in one handy reference is great, since it means you can laugh your way through the development of the series in ...

Science of Discworld 12 reviews Terry Pratchett

The storytelling ape
+ Bravissimo!
Try enlivening a party with this question: "What's on your mind?" When the babble has become truly raucous, ask another: "How did it get in there?" This book is about those questions, how we came to consider them, and how we've tried to learn to understand them. Interleaving a fantasy story with ...

The Folklore of Discworld 1 review Terry Pratchett, Jacqueline Simpson
Doubleday UK, 2008
Nineteen versions??
Folklore, ancient or modern, is one of the major foundation stones of the Discworld books. Human nature being another, one assumes. Discworld folklore is a trivia test among Discworld fans who will slyly ask one another [generally over a pint], if they can identify the origins of a certain figure ...

Death's Domain: A Discworld Mapp (Discworld Series) 8 reviews Terry Pratchett, Paul Kidby
Transworld Publishers, 1999
Neat little novelty
+ inimitable pratchett + See Death before you Die
This thing is like a book, it has a few pages discribing Death's domain. But what's really neat is that is has a huge fold out map of the entire world that Death lives in. It's so cool! It filled up a very good size portion of my wall and is really neat to walk in to see. It's got nice artwrok and ...

Fan candy
If your not a discworld fan I don't even know why your reading the reviews for this item. This another supplement and if your not fan it's kind of a slow read. Especially due to the archaic spellings.

Discworld Thieves' Guild Yearbook & Diary 2002 1 review Terry Pratchett, Stephanie Briggs
Gollancz, 2001
Collectors item
by the time anyone is reading this this book is probably no longer being sold for under $200. If you don't know, the "diaries" are like year-planners with an informationthing at the beginning. not really worth paying for if your not a collector.
