In all, this is a beautiful example of this first edition from Pratchett's popular Discworld series. The book is the 33rd title in the series and tells the tale of Moist van Lipwig, a conman and a fraud who finds himself faced with a choice: be hanged or save Ankh-Morpork's ailing postal service. Getting a date with Adora Bell Dearheart would be nice too. Perhaps only a criminal could succeed where honest men have failed, or maybe it's death sentence either way. Could there be a shot at redemption in the crazy world of the mail, waiting for a man who is prepared to push the envelope...
