“Many people have complained that producing a Discworld Mapp spoils the unmapped concept of Pratchett's creations. Fine. Just don't buy the map then. I am new to the Discworld Novels and (I imagine) I may well get overwhelmed by the many places that you must traverse in nearly 40 books.
I must admit that as old geography student I do love drooling over maps and always study them in fantasy Novels. However, I do applaud Pratchett for being reluctant to produce a map due to the philosophy that he didn't want to be writing stories to fill that map. Unfortunately I feel that too many fantasy authors do exactly that without realising it.
Anyways, this is a good visual guide if you want it. ”

It's got some pretty funny stuff in it about the various explorers of the Discworld, and comments from Pratchett and Briggs about the making of the map, but it's not really a book.
Great fun, though, and perfect for what it is. I'm thinking it'll be interesting to refer to next time I read a Discworld book.”
