Not Discworld novels, but still of the Disc: companions, art books, maps, quote collections, graphic novels, cookbooks, science collaborations and other spin-offs. Some are by Terry, some with him, some by the artists and writers who helped build the world.
Where Terry’s name is on the page, the book carries the exclusive signature plate embossed directly into the page, finished with a gold metallic wafer, embossed with the ever popular honey-bee, in memory of Terry. The designs were overseen and approved by Terry himself.
The rest are here because they belong on the same shelf.
In this noble endeavour, drawing upon the hard won knowledge of many great and, inevitably, late explorers, one may locate on a detailed plan of our world such fabled realms as the Condiment Isles, trace the course of the River Kneck as it deposits silt and border disputes in equal abundance on the lands either side, and contemplate the vast deserts of Klatch and Howondaland – a salutary lesson in the perils of allowing one’s goats to graze unchecked.
Greetings, adventurer! We lay before you this most comprehensive gazetteer encompassing all the streets of Ankh-Morpork, as well as information on its principal businesses, hotels, taverns, inns, and places of entertainment and refreshment, enhanced by the all-new and compleat map of our great city state.
Our city has grown well beyond its ancient walls, but the remit of this commission from the honourable Guild of Merchants was to ‘map the city’, the pulsing organ of commerce and culture, the heart as opposed to the body, and this we have done. In spades.
We ask that when you pore over this glorious work you spare some thought for the humble cartographers and surveyors who made journeys into the darker corners of our metropolis – no less dangerous than the wilds of Skund or Bhangbhangduc. To some the only memorial is the map you now possess. Others, in their quest for knowledge, paid the highest price that scholarship demands, which is to say, a day off in lieu.
And so we dedicate this map and these accompanying words to the officers, councilors and members of the Merchants’ Guild and to all who will find in its pages paths yet to tread and places yet to explore within the magnificentbwonder that is the city of Ankh-Morpork.
It’s no more than a breath away… Everyone needs a place to relax after a long day, after all. So here is the place where the Grim Reaper can kick back and take the load off his scythe. Here’s the golf course that’s not so much crazy as insane, and the useless maze, and the…
They said it couldn’t be done. Well, it has been done, proving them wrong once again. After years of research, cunningly contrived in as many minutes, the Discworld has its map. It takes full account of the historic and much documented expeditions of the Discworld’s fêted (or at least fated) explorers: General Sir Roderick Purdeigh,…

A complete core rulebook for Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork, the official roleplaying game set in Terry Pratchett’s most infamous city. Full of rules, iconic characters, locations, an introductory adventure, and more puns than a street corner on the Street of Cunning Artificers.
The absolute, comprehensive, from Tiffany Aching to Jack Zweiblumen guide to all things Discworld, fully illustrated by Paul Kidby.
The Discworld, as everyone knows, is a flat world balanced on the back of four elephants which, in turn, stand on the shell of the giant star turtle, the Great A’Tuin, as it slowly swims through space.
It is also the global publishing phenomenon with sales of over 100 million books worldwide (but who’s counting?). There’s an awful lot of Discworld to keep track of. But fear not! Help is at hand. For the very first time, everything (and we mean everything) you could possibly want to know has been crammed into one place.
If you need a handy guide to locales from Ankh-Morpork to Zemphis . . .
If you can’t tell your Achmed the Mads from your Jack Zweiblumens . . .
If your life depends on distinguishing between the Agatean Empire and the Zoons . . .
Look no further. Compiled and perfected by Stephen Briggs, this is your ultimate guide to Sir Terry Pratchett’s beloved fantasy world.
Designing Terry Pratchett’s Discworld takes readers behind the scenes of the amazing partnership between Sir Terry Pratchett and artist Paul Kidby.
‘It’s still magic, even if you know how it’s done’ — Sir Terry Pratchett
It shows how the Discworld was brought to visual life – from the earliest sketches to the final magnificent masterpieces – and how Terry and Paul absorbed influences from art and pop culture, fusing them into the Discworld landscape.
Whilst Terry was the undisputed creative fountainhead, for three decades Paul has been the artistic force taking the people, places and piece of man-eating luggage from Terry’s ever-fertile imagination right into our world.
This is a unique insight into one of the great literary partnerships, packed full of hitherto unseen art and the real stories behind it.
Featuring the very best of Paul Kidby’s Discworld illustrations, this definitive volume includes 40 pieces of never-before-seen art, 30 pieces that have only appeared in foreign editions, limited editions and Book Club editions, and 17 book cover illustrations since 2004 that have never been seen without cover text.
In THE ART OF DISCWORLD, Terry Pratchett takes us on a guided tour of the Discworld, courtesy of his favourite Discworld artist, Paul Kidby. Following on from THE LAST HERO, THE ART OF DISCWORLD is a lavish 112-page large format, sumptuously illustrated look at all things Discworldian. Terry Pratchett provides the written descriptions while Paul…
Containing black-and-white line drawings based on Paul Kidby’s hugely popular artwork as well as original pieces produced exclusively for this book, Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Colouring Book features iconic Discworld personalities as Granny Weatherwax, Sam Vimes, Rincewind, Tiffany Aching and, of course, DEATH.
Nanny Ogg, one of Discworld’s most famous witches, is passing on some of her huge collection of tasty (and above all interesting!) recipes, since everyone else is doing it. But in addition to the delights of the Strawberry Wobbler and Nobby’s Mum’s Distressed Pudding, Mrs Ogg imparts her thoughts on life, death, etiquette (‘If you go to other people’s funerals they’ll be sure to come to yours’), courtship, children and weddings, all in a refined style that should not offend the most delicate of sensibilities. Well, not much. Most of the recipes have been tried out on people who are still alive! This book is a glorious paperback with a wealth of pencil illustrations.
The incredible Carnegie-winning adventure that inspired the big-hit new film, coming autumn 2022. Read before you see and marvel at some of the film tie-in content, from scripts to film art.
From the worldwide phenomenon Sir Terry Pratchett, via the unquestionable wisdom of the Amazing Maurice, herein is contained everything you’ll ever need to know to identify the real, unadulterated cat.
The Unadulterated Cat is becoming an endangered species as more and more of us settle for those boring mass-produced cats the Ad Men sell us – the pussies that purr into their gold-plated food bowls on the telly. But the Campaign for Real Cats sets out to change all that by helping us to recognise a true, unadulterated cat when we see one.
For example: real cats have ears that look like they’ve been trimmed with pinking shears; real cats never wear flea collars . . . or appear on Christmas cards . . . or chase anything with a bell in it; real cats do eat quiche. And giblets. And butter. And anything else left on the table, if they think they can get away with it. Real cats can hear a fridge door opening two rooms away . . .
Featuring fifty illustrations and artwork from the creative minds behind the Amazing Maurice film, rediscover Sir Terry’s wit and wisdom and re-educate yourself on how to separate Real Cats from the riff raff.
