If your life depends on being able to distinguish the Agatean Empire from the Zoons. If you want help telling Achmed the Mad from Jack Zweiblumen. If you need a handy guide to Discworld locales from Ankh-Morpork to Zemphis. If you're looking for the ultimate authority on probably the most heavily populated-certainly the most hilarious-setting in fantasy literature.

That's a lot of Discworld to keep track of-more than most people can manage with just one head-but fear not: help is at hand! The publication of Snuff brought the Discworld canon to thirty-nine books-not including the various guides, maps, diaries, and other side projects. It is also a global publishing phenomenon, with sales of about eighty-five million books worldwide. The Discworld, as everyone knows, is a flat world balanced on the backs of four elephants that, in turn, stand on the shell of the giant star turtle, the Great A'Tuin, as it slowly swims through space. For every Pratchett fan, the must-have fully updated guidebook to Discworld!
