› Find signed collectible books: 'The Art of Discworld'
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 Kidby illustrates the world that has made Pratchett one of the best-selling authors of all time. Here you will find favourites old and new: the City Watch, including Vimes, Carrot and Angua, the three witches - Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick - and the denizens of the Unseen University Library, not forgetting the Librarian, of course: they're all here in sumptuous colour, together with the places: Ankh-Morpork, Lancre, Uberwald and more ...No Discworld fan will want to be without this beautiful gift book.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Assassins' Guild Diary, 2000'
This is yet another spin-off product from the vast Discworld merchandising empire based on the novels of Terry Pratchett, who by now needs no introduction. Following on from the Unseen University and Ankh-Morpork City Watch theme diaries, this book has the two-faced stealth of Discworld's Assassins. One face is a perfectly genuine year 2000 diary with eleven square inches of nice white space for each day's annotations, plus complete year planners for both 2000 and 2001 as front and back end papers. The second, a grinning face is the usual added-value material: 23 pages of assorted misinformation about the School for Assassins, plus an extra snippet in the space for each week's Octeday--the unnumbered eighth day of the Discworld week. There are mock school rules, lethal warnings, bizarre weapons, a tongue-in-cheek message from the Headmaster, a tour of Guild HQ, a summary of HQ's history, mini-biographies of notable Assassins (including several Disgraced Old Boys) and meticulous halftone illustrations by Discworld's most realistic artist, Paul Kidby. One typically Pratchettian in-joke is a teacher called Mr Linbury-Court, named for the school attended by Anthony Buckeridge's young scamp Jennings. A nicely produced gift, though useful as a diary only to outsiders who won't understand the allusions--since what Discworld fan could bear to deface it? --David Langford [via]

A new Discworld story is always an event. Terry Pratchett's The Last Hero is unusually short, a 40,000-word "Discworld Fable" rather than a full novel, but is illustrated throughout in sumptuous color by Paul Kidby.
The 160 pages cover the series' longest and most awesome (but still comic) journey yet, a mission to save all Discworld from a new threat. An old threat, actually. Aged warrior Cohen the Barbarian has decided to go out with a bang and take the gods with him. So, with the remnants of his geriatric Silver Horde, he's climbing to the divine retirement home Dunmanifestin with the Discworld equivalent of a nuke--a fifty-pound keg of Agatean Thunder Clay.
This will, for excellent magical reasons, destroy the world.
It's up to Leonard of Quirm, Discworld's da Vinci, to invent the technology that might just beat Cohen to his goal. His unlikely vessel is powered by dragons, crewed by himself and two popular regular characters, and secretly harbors a stowaway. Before long we hear the Discworld version of "Houston, we have a problem...."
Kidby rises splendidly to the challenge of painting both funny faces and cosmic vistas. As Pratchett puts it, The Last Hero "has an extra dimension: some parts of it are written in paint!" New characters include Evil Dark Lord Harry Dread, who started out with "just two lads and his Shed of Doom," and a god so tiresome that his worshippers are forbidden chocolate, ginger, mushrooms and garlic.
Pratchett's story alone is strong and effective, with several hair-raising frissons contrasting with high comedy; Kidby's paintings make it something very special. Not to be missed. --David Langford, Amazon.co.uk [via]
