"A hardback guidebook to Ankh-Morpork's Guilds, institutions & environs containing an anthology of text & illustrations from previous Discworld diaries - revamped & redesigned for the new visitor to Discworld's premier city! Written by Terry Pratchett and produced by Stephen Briggs, with artwork by Paul Kidby!" - https://www.discworldemporium.com/
The second book I'm allowing myself this month. By the time I became aware that there were Discworld Diaries they were almost at the end of their run. I thought I would have to make do with what was revealed of them in "The Discworld Companion". There were copies available online of course, but they were already going for fairly high prices, certainly out of my limited range. But the publishing of these Archives remedies my lack.
"Lavish coffee-table book" pretty much describes this volume and a good deal of its beauty is attributable to Paul Kidby, who has come to be my favorite artist when it comes to interpreting the Discworld. The art is second only (for me) to being able to read 'new' Pratchett on his fantasy world again. I can hardly wait for Volume II when it comes out in February 2022.
