A Hat Full of Sky - Gift Edition
WE SEE YOU. NOW WE ARE YOU.

Pastýřská koruna - Poslední příběh ze Zeměplochy
Pastýřská koruna je poslední knihou Terryho Pratchetta. Napsal ji během posledního roku svého života, ještě předtím, než začátkem roku 2015 podlehl neodbytné a atypické formě Alzheimerovy choroby. Uzavřou se tu dobrodružství Toničky Bolavé, jejích oddaných Fíglů i spřátelených čarodějek. Objeví se i zcela nový hrdina, který si jistě velmi rychle získá sympatie čtenářů, a nikoliv jen jejich. Dojde k válce s elfy, která je sice krátká, ale o to zuřivější, a jistě neprozradíme nic nečekaného, když řekneme, že elfové i tentokrát odtáhnou s krvavými nosy. Podíváme se do Ankh-Morporku, k trpasličí firmě, která se zabývá výrobou košťat, a zažijeme dosti nezvyklou přeměnu povýšené čarodějky paní Našeptávalové. Rozloučíme se s celou řadou starých známých a jde o loučení o to těžší, že o jejich dalších osudech si už můžeme nechat jen zdát. Bylo ještě tolik knih, které chtěl Terry Pratchett napsat. Kdyby zůstal naživu, byla by nepochybně i Pastýřská koruna mnohem obsáhlejší, ale i tak je to dobrá kniha a fanouškové Terryho Pratchetta s ní jistě zažijí řadu příjemných chvil.

Last Continent
A beautiful hardback edition of the classic Discworld novel
'Anything you do in the past changes the future. The tiniest little actions have huge consequences. You might tread on an ant now and it might entirely prevent someone from being born in the future.'
There's nothing like the issue of evolution to get under the skin of academics. Even if their field of expertise is magic rather than biology. With the best and most interfering minds of Unseen University somehow left in charge at a critical evolutionary turning point, the Discworld’s last continent needs a saviour…
Who is this hero striding across the red desert? Sheep shearer, beer drinker, bush ranger, and someone who'll even eat a Meat Pie Floater when he's sober.
In fact, it's Rincewind, a wizard so inept he can't even spell wizard. He's the only hero left.
Still...no worries, eh?
The Truth
A beautiful hardback edition of the classic Discworld novel
William de Worde is the accidental editor of the Discworld's first newspaper. New printing technology means that words just won't obediently stay nailed down like usual. There's a very real threat of news getting out there.
Now he must cope with the traditional perils of a journalist's life - people who want him dead, a recovering vampire with a suicidal fascination for flash photography, some more people who want him dead in a different way and, worst of all, the man who keeps begging him to publish pictures of his humorously shaped potatoes.
William just wants to get at THE TRUTH. Unfortunately, everyone else wants to get at William. And it's only the third edition...
Carpe Jugulum - (Discworld Novel 23)
A beautiful hardback edition of the classic Discworld novel In this and indeed other lives there are givers and takers. It's safe to say that vampires are very much in the latter camp. They don't have much time for the givers of this world - except perhaps mealtimes - and even less for priests. Mightily Oats has not picked a good time to be a priest. Lancre's newest residents are a thoroughly modern, sophisticated vampire family. They've got style and fancy waistcoats. They're out of the casket and want a bite of the future. But they haven't met the neighbours yet: between them and Lancre stand Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg. And Magrat, who is trying to combine witchcraft and nappies. And young Agnes, although she is really in two minds about everything. Mightily Oats knows he has a prayer, but he wishes he had an axe.
The Fifth Elephant - (Discworld Novel 24)
A beautiful hardback edition of the classic Discworld novel They say that diplomacy is a gentle art. That mastering it is a lifetime's work. But you do need a certain inclination in that direction. It's not something you can just pick up on the job. A few days ago Sam Vimes was a copper - an important copper, true - chief of police - but still, at his core, a policeman. But today he is an ambassador - to the mysterious, fat-rich country of Uberwald. Today, Sam Vimes is also a man on the run. He has nothing but his native wit and the gloomy trousers of Uncle Vanya (don't ask). It's snowing. It's freezing. And if he can't make it through the forest to civilization there's going to be a terrible war. There are monsters on his trail. They're bright. They're fast. They're werewolves - and they're catching up.
The Witch's Vacuum Cleaner
Poor Mr Swimble is having a bad day. Rabbits are bouncing out of his hat, pigeons are flying out of his jacket and every time he points his finger, something magically appears - cheese sandwiches, socks ...even a small yellow elephant on wheels!

His friends at the Magic Rectangle can't help, but the mysterious vacuum cleaner he saw that morning may have something to do with it ...Fourteen fantastically funny stories from master storyteller Sir Terry Pratchett, full of food fights, pirates, wizards and crooks! "Arresting stuff! So funny it's criminal!". (PC Gorsebush Jones).
Small Gods - A Discworld Graphic Novel
"Just because you can't explain it, doesn't mean it's a miracle." In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was: 'Hey, you!' This is the Discworld, after all, and religion is a controversial business. Everyone has their own opinion, and indeed their own gods, of every shape and size, and all elbowing for space at the top. In such a competitive environment, it's certainly not helpful to be reduced to appearing in the form of a tortoise, a manifestation far below god-like status in anyone's book. In such instances, you need an acolyte, and fast: for the Great God Om, Brutha the novice is the Chosen One - or at least the only One available. He wants peace and justice and brotherly love. He also wants the Inquisition to stop torturing him now, please...Now adapted into graphic novel form with new artwork by Ray Friesen.

As the fairy horde prepares for invasion, Tiffany must summon all the witches to stand with her. To protect the land. Her land. There will be a reckoning...This is the Final Discworld Novel.

Discworld Atlas
Unseen University are proud to present the most comprehensive map and guide to the Disc yet produced. In this noble endeavour, drawing upon the hard won knowledge of many great and, inevitably, late explorers, one may locate on a detailed plan of our world such fabled realms as the Condiment Isles, trace the course of the River Kneck as it deposits silt and border disputes in equal abundance on the lands either side, and contemplate the vast deserts of Klatch and Howondaland - a salutary lesson in the perils of allowing ones goats to graze unchecked. This stunning work brings to life the lands and locations of the Discworld stories in a way never seen before. Accompanied by lavish full-colour illustrations and a detailed world map, this is a must-have for any Discworld fan.
