Description
Embark on Discworld’s inaugural adventure with The Colour of Magic: Facsimile Edition, a meticulous reproduction of the elusive 1983 first printing, originally published by Hill House in association with Colin Smythe. Featuring Alan Smith’s iconic cover, this hardcover mirrors the original in every detail—save a subtle copyright notice—bringing collectors tantalisingly close to bibliographic history. In the beginning there was… a turtle. On the Discworld’s frontier between thought and reality, carried by the great A’Tuin, a inept wizard and well-meaning tourist named Twoflower (with Luggage that has legs and a mind of its own) threaten existence itself amid robbers, mercenaries, and Death. Unlike modern reprints, this facsimile preserves Pratchett’s raw debut energy, satirising fantasy tropes with explosive wit—essential for purists reliving the blight of the world’s first tourist.
