    What Discworld Series to Start With?

    ...and their world. I would be completely at home there! My voyage of Disc-overy was when Death was a boy and my brother handed me Colour of Magic with the words 'You might like this'.

    What Discworld Series to Start With?

    If you plan to read them all, I'd suggest starting at the beginning (The Colour of Magic) and then read them in publication order. If you want to just try a few to see if you like the series, then I'd pick something that matches stuff you like. (e.g. Guards! Guards! if you like police...

    SPOILERS The Long Earth **Spoilers**

    ...her Father to see what's he's become ("I think you'll royally fuck it up"). Perhaps we need to look at this book a little like The Colour of Magic. We've now SEEN the Long Earth, we get the concept and yes, it is good. Can we now have a bit more characterisation, a bit less of the geography...

F) I know in the States that if a book has a deicated name in it name on it, it normally sells for less I know that because an American author offered to just sign it as he said it would be worth more than with my name in it ,but I got it dedicated anyway. But...

    The Pooh Pit

    Six reasons. a) They're rare. They're rarer than the Colour of Magic 1st (506 copies). Usually there are only approx 120 printed of each one. :dance: b) They're more expensive. Paying 20 quid for a first edition then another 25 quid to get it shipped to Japan is not cost effective. Paying 100...

    Discworld Poll 1: Top 10 favourite Josh Kirby covers.

    Nope, I was never a fan of the Kirby covers. I only started to read the books because my brother insisted that I read Colour of Magic. I could never associate the characters on the covers with the ones in my head. If I was actually forced to name my favourite, I guess it would be Small...
