The Discworld Mapp

From Lancre to Uberwald to Koom Valley you can plot out where everything is. I do find it most useful to put everything and the many varied locations in perspective. For example now you can see exactly how the witches flew to Genua or where Leshp was.

Accompanying the large map is a small booklet containing small biographies of the Disc's prominent explorers (those who were proper explorers anyway). These were enjoyable, but not quite the same as a Discworld story (though the normal humour was present in full). My only disappointment with the map is that I simply cannot locate Copperhead!

Just don't expect any earthshattering revelations about the nature of the Disc: "Exactly how [the internal layer of molten rock] is maintained, and how the water that pours ceaselessly over the rim from the Circle Sea is replaced, are but two of the unfathomable mysteries of the world."

A true Discworld aficionado shouldn't be without this mapp. But if you're a more casual reader then it might be best to leave things up to your imagination and Terry's wonderful descriptive language.

These little foldout Discworld map/guide books are a bit of a hit and miss affair, but the second in the series is an absolute must. Not only is the Discworld map practical (yes – you can finally work out just where all the various locations on the Discworld are in relation to each other!) but it’s gorgeous to look at. Not only this but the accompanying pamphlet on great Discworld explorers of the past is consistently hilarious. Yes – its relatively pricey for something you’ll read through in all of 10 minutes, but for any Discworld fan this is a must.

I've been a Discworld fan for a few years now so i finally bought this map to follow exactly where characters were actually going in the books. It's very well drawn and shows where all the key locations of the books are. Unfortunately the accompanying booklet is rather short and is mostly taken up by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs talking about the project rather than a full story.
A good purchase for any discworld fan.

im not saying i regret buying this map in fact im quite please with way it looks on my wall, but i found it wasnt detailed enough to compete with the map in my head. the places not in any books should have been named a bit more and the disc seems a little small to me. however the art work is great as always and i would recommend it but if u are only going to buy one discworld map buy the map of ankh morpork
