Plot

The Discworld can be a hazardous and confusing planet: the whole place fair crackles with raw magic and mayhem. For safetys sake, you need an expert companion. So, Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs, respectively chronicler and cartographer, have helpfully produced this, the one and only definitive guide to the flat planet - its geography, its flora and fauna, its (many) religions, its architecture and customs, and, of course, its outstanding personalities. If you need to know what Death keeps on his desk, or what Bestiality Carter does for a living, or, for the really adventurous, where to get a curry in Ankh Morpork*, or, indeed, anything else about the Discworld, then this is the book for you. Complete with illustrations, maps and significant emblems of Discworld heraldry. * Klatchian Curry Gardens, corner of God Street and Blood Alley. Dont use the kitchen entrance.
