Fantasic,
By
This review is from: Terry Pratchett's Discworld Collectors' Edition Calendar 2008 (Gollancz S.F.) (Paperback)
There are some truly incredible images on this calendar - a couple of no so goods - but overall a massive improvement on last years.
My favourites so far are January Going Postal; the February dragon; June and the Amazing Maurice; July for Rincewind, Twoflower and the Luggage; August's snakes and the orange-red valley; October and the sleepwalker and November and that beautiful meteorite carriage ride. The others are March and commander Vimes and Little Sam; for April it's the Wee Free Men; May is a Pug (from this year's release Making Money) and December is the Wintersmith and Tiffany. I missed one, did you notice? September made me smile - all I'll say is "I ATEN'T DEAD". Overall its a fantastic calendar, and it is more in the lines of the greatest of the Tolkien ones. Fantastic to see such care and detail, it's a marvel that I will treasure.

Disappointing, but not completely,
By C. Durrill "occasional dancer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Terry Pratchett's Discworld Collectors' Edition Calendar 2008 (Gollancz S.F.) (Paperback)
I was hoping for Kidby art. Granted, there are some lovely interpretations of Mr. Pratchett's works, but the rest feel like filler. Hopefully, if there is a 2009, this will be fixed.
