The Rincewind Series
The Colour of Magic
Exclusively embossed with Terry's signature and sealed with his coat of arms£10.00
In the beginning there was…a turtle. Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place which might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land. Unfortunately, the person charged with maintaining that survival in the face of robbers, mercenaries and, well, Death, is a spectacularly inept wizard…
The Colour of Magic 2022 Cover
Exclusively embossed with Terry's signature and sealed with his coat of arms£10.00
New editions of Terry Pratchett’s bestselling Discworld novels from From Transworld. The Witches series were the first to get the treatment, now it’s the turn of the Wizards.
Introducing the new look for The Colour of Magic, the first book in the series. Interestingly names as one of the BBC’s 100 most inspiring novels.
‘It was octarine, the colour of magic. It was alive and glowing and vibrant and it was the undisputed pigment of the imagination…’
Somewhere between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a magical world not totally unlike our own. Except for the fact that it travels through space on the shoulders of four giant elephants who in turn stand on the shell of an astronomically huge star turtle, of course.
Rincewind is the world’s worst wizard who has just been handed a very important job: to look after the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land. Unfortunately, their journey across the Disc includes facing robbers, monsters, mercenaries, and Death himself.
And the whole thing’s just a game of the gods that might send them over the edge . . .

The Light Fantastic 2022 Cover
Exclusively embossed with Terry's signature and sealed with his coat of arms£10.00
Transworld is releasing new editions of Terry Pratchett’s bestselling Discworld novels. The Witches series were the first to get the treatment, now it’s the turn of the Wizards.
Introducing the new look for The Light Fantastic, the second book in the series.
‘Darkness isn’t the opposite of light, it is simply its absence . . . what was radiating from the book was the light that lies on the far side of darkness, the light fantastic.’
The Discworld is in danger, heading towards a seemingly inevitable collision with a malevolent red star, its magic fading. It needs a hero, and fast.
What it doesn’t need is Rincewind, an inept and cowardly wizard who is still recovering from the trauma of falling off the edge of the world. Or Twoflower, the well-meaning tourist whose luggage has a mind (and legs) of its own.
Which is a shame, because that’s all there is . . .

Transworld is releasing new editions of Terry Pratchett’s bestselling Discworld novels. The Witches series were the first to get the treatment, now it’s the turn of the Wizards.
Introducing the new look for Sourcery, the third book in the series.
‘It’s vital to remember who you really are . . . it isn’t a good idea to rely on other people or things to do it for you, you see. They always get it wrong.’
An eighth son of an eighth son is born, a wizard squared, a source of magic. A sourcerer.
Unseen University, the Discworld’s most magical establishment, has finally got its wish: the emergence of a wizard more powerful than ever before. You’d think they would have been a little more careful what they wished for . . .
As the sourcerer takes over the University and sets his sights on the rest of the world, only one wizard manages to escape his influence. Unfortunately for everyone, it’s Rincewind.
Once again the cowardly wizard must embark on a quest: to deliver a precious artefact – the very embodiment of magic itself – halfway across the Disc to safety. If he doesn’t make it, the death of all wizardry is at hand.
And the end of the world, depending on who you listen to.

Exclusively embossed with Terry's signature and sealed with his coat of arms£10.00
Transworld is releasing new editions of Terry Pratchett’s bestselling Discworld novels. The Witches series were the first to get the treatment, now it’s the turn of the Wizards.
Introducing the new look for Interesting Times, the fifth book in the series.
‘There is a curse. They say: may you live in interesting times . . .’
This is the worst thing you can wish on a citizen of Discworld. Especially for the magically challenged Rincewind, who has already had far too much excitement in his life.
Unfortunately, the unlucky wizard always seems to end up in the middle of, well, absolutely everything. So when a request for a ‘Great Wizzard’ arrives from the faraway Counterweight Continent, it’s obviously Rincewind who’s sent. For one thing, he’s the only one who spells wizard that way.
Once again Rincewind is thrown headfirst into a dangerous adventure. For the oldest empire on the Disc is in turmoil and Chaos is building. And, for some reason, someone believes Rincewind will have a vital role in the coming war . . .

Exclusively embossed with Terry's signature and sealed with his coat of arms£10.00
Transworld is releasing new editions of Terry Pratchett’s bestselling Discworld novels. The Witches series were the first to get the treatment, now it’s the turn of the Wizards.
Introducing the new look for The Last Continent, the sixth book in the series.
‘Anything you do in the past changes the future. The tiniest little actions have huge consequences. You might tread on an ant now and it might entirely prevent someone from being born in the future.’
Rincewind, inept wizard and reluctant hero, has found himself magically stranded on the Discworld’s last continent.
It’s hot. It’s dry. There was this thing once called The Wet, which no one believes in any more. Practically everything that’s not poisonous is venomous. But it’s the best bloody place in the world, all right?
And in a few days, it will die. The only thing standing between the last continent and wind-blown doom is Rincewind, and he can’t even spell wizard. Still . . . no worries, eh?

Eric 2023 Cover
Exclusively embossed with Terry's signature and sealed with his coat of arms£10.00
This classic Discworld novel now has a brand-new cover look to celebrate 50 years of Terry Pratchett! Eric is part of The Unseen University Collection.
Eric is the Discworld’s only demonology hacker. The trouble is, he’s not very good at it. All he wants is the usual three wishes: to be immortal, rule the world and have the most beautiful woman fall madly in love with him. The usual stuff.
But what he gets is Rincewind, the Disc’s most incompetent wizard, and Rincewind’s Luggage (the world’s most dangerous travel accessory) into the bargain.
Terry Pratchett’s hilarious take on the Faust legend stars many of the Discworld’s most popular characters in an outrageous adventure that will leave Eric wishing once more – this time, quite fervently, that he’d never been born.
Readers adore Eric:
