The design may vary, we have a Death and an A’tuin signature plate as well as the Terry shown. The wafers may also differ depending on availability. The honey bee in memory of Terry, is our most popular. You will not find embossed books anywhere else and the designs were overseen and approved by Terry himself.

‘Always push your luck because no one else would push it for you.’
Imprisoned in Ankh-Morpork, con artist Moist von Lipwig is offered a choice: to be executed or to accept a job as the city’s Postmaster General.
It’s a tough decision, but he’s already survived one hanging and isn’t in the mood to try it again.
The Post Office is down on its luck: beset by mountains of undelivered mail, eccentric employees, and a dangerous secret order. To save his skin, Moist will need to restore the postal service to its former glory, with the help of tough talking activist Adora Belle Dearheart. Who happens to be very attractive, in an ‘entire womanful of anger’ kind of way.
But there’s new technology to compete against and an evil chairman who will stop at nothing to delay Ankh-Morpork’s post for good . . .

It’s not easy being a witch, and it’s certainly not all whizzing about on broomsticks, but Tiffany Aching – teen witch – is doing her best. Until something evil wakes up, something that stirs up all the old stories about nasty old witches, so that just wearing a pointy hat suddenly seems a very bad idea. Worse still, this evil ghost from the past is hunting down one witch in particular. He’s hunting for Tiffany. And he’s found her . . . THE FORTH BOOK IN THE TIFFANY ACHING SEQUENCE

This is the countryside, after all. Everyone sees where you go and you never know who is behind a hedge.
And if you’re very unlucky, the person behind the hedge could have very unfriendly intentions. It may look idyllic, but the countryside isn’t all flowers and thatched cottages and bracing walks in your best tweed. Beneath the greenery lies a dark underbelly, and there’s something about rambling country houses that attracts dastardly plots and grisly murder. A challenge for any detective, but especially for one bred in the city who doesn’t understand the Way Things Are Done. In the countryside, people know their place, and everyone else’s place too, especially if it’s beneath their own. And they have some rather old fashioned ideas about people who are different from them.

‘Everybody wanted the railway close, oh yes please, but not so close that they could hear it or smell it’
It’s only in dictatorships that the trains run on time. Everywhere else, signal failures, leaves on the line, the wrong type of snow and the wrong type of sunlight make departure and arrival times just a nice, idealistic theory. So when it becomes a matter of life and death to get a train somewhere on time, the odds don’t look good – especially if that somewhere is a completely new destination. The only thing that upsets people more than railway delays, after all, is building more railway. Past their back gardens. And some of those people will go to extremes to stop locomotion in its tracks…
‘British fiction’s most brilliant satire on contemporary life.’ — Telegraph
‘The most serious of comedies, the most relevant and real of fantasies…at once hilariously cynical and idealistically practical.’ — Independent
