The Discworld Mapp: Sir Terry Pratchett’s much-loved Discworld, mapped for the very first time

The little booklet included is quite small so it won't take you more than 20 minutes to read in it's entirety but it has a nice introduction to the map creating project from both Terry Pratchett and the illustrator Stephen Briggs. This is exactly like those tourist maps you can buy for any other holiday destination, the ones that have a booklet of information on one side and then a huge fold out map on the other that you can lay out across your dining table and plot your holiday destinations. As much as I have been able to picture characters and parts of the Discworld very vividly thanks to Terry Pratchett's wonderful writing I love having this physical map to look at. Unfortunately we can't visit the Discworld in real life but this definitely helps bring the spirit of the place to life.

This book may not be for the casual Discworld fan but it's a lovely addition to any superfan's collection. As a diehard Discworld fan I'm not too sure why it's taken me so long to buy this map but I'm so glad I have it now and I can't wait to start using it to plot the character's journeys on my next reread of the series! It also includes a brief history of the Discworld's most prominent explorers which is written with Terry's trademark wit and humour.
