Description

Published by Doubleday, London; 2004. 352pp. 8vo. First edition, first impression. Condition: Fine Fine.

A beautiful example of this first edition, the thirty-second from the Discworld series. Bound in it’s original dark blue boards with title in gilt to the spine, the binding is square and tight with just a touch of bumping to the corners and spine ends, it is in very smart and collectible condition. Inside, the pages are clean and bright and free from blemishes or wear, with just a touch of toning to the pages and appearing practically unread.

The dust jacket is also in smart condition, unclipped and as bright as the day it was published, illustrated by Paul Kidby. There is slight bumping to the spine ends and corners, 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-second instalment from Pratchett’s phenomenally successful series and the second to be based on the character Tiffany Aching, aimed at young adults. Tiffany Aching is just learning her place as a witch. A real witch can ride a broomstick, cast spells and make a proper shamble out of everything. Eleven-year-old Tiffany Aching can t. A real witch never casually steps out of her body, leaving it empty. Tiffany does. And there s something waiting for a handy body to take over. Now she s got to fight back and learn to be a real witch really quickly. It would be the perfect addition to any book collection or an excellent gift for any lover of the Discworld series.
