The Discworld Thieves' Guild Yearbook and Diary 2002


Book Description

The latest in the highly-successful series of Discworld diaries, featuring extensive original material by Terry Pratchett. The Thieves¿ Guild celebrates its 21st anniversary with its first Yearbook, featuring an address from Lord Vetinari himself, who encouraged the setting-up of the Guild to avoid the random, unfair and disorganised crime which, until his ascent to power, plagued the great city of Ankh-Morpork. Now crime is legal, organised and run to an annual budget and everyone is happy ¿ well, almost everyone: woe betide the unlicensed thief, highwayman or slipperlegger who tries to do business without Guild approval! Stunningly illustrated, as in previous years, by Paul Kidby.




The Discworld Fools' Guild


Book Description

Contrast the Fools' Guild with the Assassins' Guild next door: one is pleasant, light and airy and the corridors echo with the quiet activity of people working hard to master a job they love; the other is gaunt, forbidding and silent, except for the occasional muffled sob . . . The Fools' Guild, founded 150 years ago, is also a hospital, craft standards enforcer, fraternal society and school. There is always a place and a custard pie in the face for any young boy with an amusing hump, speech impediment or other laughable deformity. As with previous diaries in the series, the usual mundane dates are complemented by the Discworld's own special occasions, so you will always know when to expect the Soul Cake Duck's choccie eggs and which days are most auspicious for the throwing of custard pies.
