Author Biography Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any. Review • "Youd have thought that, by now, Pratchett would be running out of ideas; thankfully, however, the universe he created 25 years ago just keeps on giving... Its a triumphant effort." --Independent on Sunday Promotional A stunning new street map of Discworld city Ankh-Morpork Promotional "Headline" A brand-new companion to Discworld city Ankh-Morpork complete with beautifully illustrated, double-sided pull-out map Details ISBN0857520741 Author Terry Pratchett Pages 128 Publisher Transworld Publishers Ltd Year 2012 ISBN-10 0857520741 ISBN-13 9780857520746 Format Hardcover Imprint Doubleday Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Illustrations Fully illustrated street directory with 4-colour, 2-sided, pull-out map Birth 1948 Publication Date 2012-11-08 Media Book DEWEY 823.92 Series Doubleday Language English Death 2015 Short Title The Compleat Ankh-Morpork UK Release Date 2012-11-08 AU Release Date 2012-11-08 NZ Release Date 2012-11-08 Narrator Llewella Gideon Affiliation Victoria Moran Position Author Qualifications QC Subtitle the essential guide to the principal city of Sir Terry Pratchetts Discworld, Ankh-Morpork Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
