A set of fabulous illustrations with humorous commentary. What is not to love?

Some very interesting insights into the characters and the world of discworld by the man himself, Terry Pratchett.

Beautiful artwork, many characters exactly as I see them in my head. Added narrative by TP adds to the flavour of each image. Separated into different Discworld areas it really impresses how big that Universe is.

I got this one for Christmas. It's a must-have for any fan of Terry Pratchett's Discworld.

If you're not a fan of Terry Pratchett or the Discworld series of books, this particular edition will probably sail right over your head. If you are, well, it's more than just the art of Discworld.
In the beginning, Discworld covers were done by Josh Kirby, who sadly passed away, handing the mantel on to Paul Kidby, whose similar yet independent style kept the Discworld spirit alive. This book features Kidby's work only, with sketches and finished articles alongside some never-before-seen material that bring Discworld to life.
It's also narrated by Terry himself, with little notations by Kidby, but it's Terry's words that make this book more than just an art one. He gives us insight in to his thinking of the characters we love and gives us a few books and people that have inspired him throughout his writing career to look out for as references ourselves. It's the ultimate dip-in-and-out book and the illustrations have so many little things to look for it can overtake your imagination for days on end.

I loved it so much.

Compared to "Terry Pratchett's DW Imaginarium" which was published after Sir Pratchett's passing, this one was written by him and Paul Kidby.
And it was so good to have the entire Discworld explained by both, their inspirations, where they drew their ideas from.. it was perfect.
Definitely a must-have for lovers of the Discworld.
