Pratchett, Terry:

We usually like to start our author pages with some interesting factoid or reference. But in this case its all a bit 'too soon', and may well be ‘too soon’ for many years to come. We will never stop missing Terry Pratchett.

The Discworld

The Unseen Library:

In 2001 BCA in association with Gollancz began publishing collectors editions of the Discworld Series. These were bound in quarter leather, with lavish gilt and using high quality paper. The endpapers feature colour maps of Discworld and the covers a tipped in image by Paul Kidby. The Unseen Library editions were initially very popular but the series ran out of steam with the final release, Maskerade. Apparently the cost of production was high so the printing error that required Maskerade to be redone may have killed them off. (copies of MASKARADE are naturally very collectable!) Nevertheless, these 18 volumes contain most of Pratchett’s best work in the Discworld universe. The first three are signed by Pratchett.

Discworld Novels:

The Folio Society Mort Limited Edition:

We really searched for a copy of this book and are most happy to finally have one in the collection!

From the Folio Society description: Mort: A Limited Edition is now SOLD OUT. Our fastest-selling book of all time. Faster even than a panicked Rincewind fleeing creatures from the Dungeon Dimensions – the beautiful limited edition of Mort has sold out, in just 13 hours.

Young Mort despairs of finding a suitable career in his provincial village, until one day he is rather unexpectedly hired by a bony figure in a cowl – Death, it seems, is in need of an apprentice … When Mort comes to the end of his adventures, his immortal employer gifts him a very special book – the book of Mort’s life. This unusual limited edition is a 'facsimile' of the remarkable book from Death’s very own library. In order to replicate the volume as imagined by Terry Pratchett, Mort is bound in black leather, with the title blocked in shiny gold leaf on the spine.

Production Details: Limited to 500 copies bound in leather with blocking in gold leaf on the spine and raised bands. Set in Caslon, 240 pages with a black & white title-page by artist Omar Rayyan; 7 colour illustrations and features an exclusive signed print by the illustrator.
