Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This is an American edition of the eighth book in the Discworld series. Front cover is excellent, back cover minor scuffing and a tiny bend. Spine is creased. Excellent condition. It's a first edition, but not, I think, the first printing.

Dustwrapper bright. ***238mm x158mm. 288 pages. ***'Some night-time prowler is turning the citizens of Ankh-Morpork, greatest city of the fantasy Discworld, into something resembling small charcoal biscuits. And that's a real problem for Captain Vimes of the City Watch, who must tramp the mean streets of the naked city searching for a seventy-foot-long fire-breathing dragon which, he believes, can help him with his enquiries. In a city thrown in turmoil by magic, charcoal biscuits, secret societies and mad lady dragon breeders, he's just looking for the facts.' ***'I'm beginning to think that Terry Pratchett is the best humorist this country has seen since P. G. Wodehouse -- less coarse than Tom Sharpe, less cynical than Douglas Adams, simply a pure joy". - David Pringle, White Dwarf (Quote and general review quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A second impression of the true first edition, published just a month after the first impression, in its original attractive wraparound colour-illustrated dustwrapper. A very nice early printing of the eighth book in the series of Discworld novels. A very nice copy - now seldom seen in early impressions. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
