The Compleat AnkhMorpork City Guide Terry Pratchett 9780857520746 Books

The ancient city of Ankh-Morpork grew rather haphazardly and was never subjected to the dictates of a city planner. A guide and map is therefore essential for any prospective visitor who wishes to find their way through the intricate alleyways of this exotic metropolis. This is especially important if the visitor wishes to seek out or avoid some of the intriguingly different cultures that inhabit this most cosmopolitan of cities. This handsomely illustrated guide has a generous section of helpful advertisements to aid tourists seeking accommodation, amusements, business opportunities, educational institutions, night life or food. I would advise very careful study indeed of the guide before venturing into this fascinating city, about which so much has been written. Cultural ignorance might easily lead to perhaps fatal embarrassment if for example a visitor attempted to buy food in a dwarf bread shop. Highly recommended for the fantastic journey. Don't leave home without it.

The Compleat AnkhMorpork City Guide Terry Pratchett 9780857520746 Books Reviews

I just got this, and I am already knee-deep in the Ankh-Morporkian muck, as it were.

Since it is a Guide Book, with a complete city directory and a very large map, I don't expect that I will finish it as quickly as I do the novels about DiscWorld. But it is full of the wry humor that makes Pratchett's books so delightful, and I expect I'll be dipping into it often for guidance and enlightenment.
This encyclopedia of all things Ankh-Morpork is for lovers of the books by Terry Pratchett, by lovers of readers of Terry Pratchett. So, if you take joy and glee of his writings, you will enjoy dipping in this book. And, it comes with a great map!
I wish I had this book three years ago when I started reading through the series from start to finish. Having a guide of all businesses and important locations within the city makes the stories feel so much more real.
The map is beautiful, Suitable for framing. This is great for a fan or a role player who wants to have material written from the point of view of the setting world.
It's a merchants guide to Ankh-Morpork. If you are a lover of Pratchett and Discworld, it is fun to round out your collection, but it is a tertiary book. It's not a story-book. I wish I wasn't required to rate it as a fiction book or regular Discworld book, as anything that is essentially an Almanac-cum-Atlas isn't something you read for a story arc driven page-turner.

Still, if you love Pratchett's Discworld, it is worth collecting, though it is low on my list of all the add-on's that are worth getting. Nicely made, however.
Awesome book. Such fun detail for everything ank morpork. I had this on my wishlist for so long because my budget didn't allow for such a book. However, my wife and I are huge pratchett fans and I decided to order it for my wife for Christmas. The book is gorgeous, has all kinds of fun little details, and many bits and pieces of information that I never really thought about being part of the universe.

If you've been thinking about don't wait anymore, my only regret is waiting so long.
I actually didn't purchase this book for the book itself, but because I wanted the map (I'm fanatical about maps, if a fantasy world has a map then I NEED IT); I didn't expect the book to be much use to me, but wow! It really is laid out like a directory, with lots of information you'd find in a good city guide like an index of taverns, hotels, and there's even guilds. All of which make it a great resource for fanfic writers of Discworld, or anyone who likes a visual idea of where a story is taking place in AM (I have sticky note flags on the Post Office, guess who my favourite character is!). I'm planning on getting the map framed for protection, because I put it up on my wall immediately and it is going to stay there.

I would have liked some more information about the guilds and schools and... well, you might say I wanted the information an immigrant would look for, rather than a tourist! XD But I know that's because I can never get enough world-building details, not the fact that the book isn't chock-full of detail already.
