Gollancz Turtle Recall: The Discworld Companion . . . So Far

Really useful for chasing up some of the esoterica of Discworld. Sadly the paperback received the now all too usual treatment from Amazon of having front and back covers bent and creased over when shoved in postage box as worker's don't have the time to be more careful: I don't blame them, it's the working practices that are at fault.

Turtle Recall, The Discworls Companion ... So Far arrived on time and in very good condition seeing it is a second hand book. This is a brilliant book for any Discworld fan,its the perfect book for reference purposes and to be reminded of people, things and other details in Discworld, if like me youre getting a little forgetful, comes with age and fibro im afaraid1, The only thing i will say that youve probably got to be a Discworld fan for the book to make any sense, but i am enjoying greatly popping in and out. I love Terry Pratchetts Discworld . 5 stars +++

Though intended for dipping into, I found a straight read through a delightful memory-jogger. References several books I have yet to read (a few of which I have now ordered through Amazon), and understandably will need updating to include Raising Steam and (we hope) more. If you've forgotten who Bravd the Hublander is and where you first met him, this is the book for you. I loved showing the title to people; it usually raises a laugh, even if you have to explain what the Discworld is - most folks have seen the Schwartzenegger film.

this is one to dip in and out of rather than sit down and read. I'm a massive discworld fan and have read everything, most of it several times, and this is the perfect book to live in the bathroom and be reminded of things, people and details that you'd either forgotten, or dearly love. wasn't sure at first but I'm a convert. recommended (although I think you'd have to be a pretty die-hard fan for it to make any sense -- if you haven't read much discworld, read it all and then get this!)

I bought this for my husband and he's really enjoyed reading it.
