Published by Doubleday, London; 2007. 349pp. 8vo. First edition, first impression. Condition: Fine/Fine.
A beautiful example of this first edition, the thirty-sixth from the Discworld series. Bound in it’s original black boards with gilt title to the spine, the binding is square and tight and in very smart, collectible condition with just the slightest hint of bumping to the spine ends and corners. Inside, the pages are clean and bright and free from blemishes or wear, with just a touch of toning to the pages.
The dust jacket is also in smart condition, unclipped and as bright as the day it was published, illustrated by Paul Kidby. There is a little bumping to the spine edges, but it is otherwise in excellent condition.
In all, this is a particularly lovely example of this first edition, appearing barely read and in near perfect condition. It is the thirty-sixth instalment from Pratchett’s phenomenally successful series, and the second based on Moist von Lipwig, who becomes the man in charge of Ankh-Morpork's Royal Mint and introduces paper money to the city. \the Chief Cashier is almost certainly a vampire and Moist faces various challenges, including enemies and a 300 year old wizard. This beautiful book would be the perfect addition to any book collection or an excellent gift for any lover of the Discworld series.
