Product Description
Product Description
'THERE'S A SAYING THAT ALL ROADS LEAD TO ANKH-MORPORK. AND IT'S WRONG. ALL ROADS LEAD AWAY FROM ANKH-MORPORK, BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST WALK ALONG THE WRONG WAY' from Moving Pictures
Ankh-Morpork! City of One Thousand Surprises (according to the famous publication by the Guild of Merchants)! All human life is there! Although, if it walks down the wrong alley, often quite briefly!
The city celebrated in the bestselling Discworld series by Terry Pratchett has been meticulously mapped for the first time. It's all here - from Unseen University to the Shades, from major landmarks like the Patrician's Palace to little-known, er, nooks like Dwarf Bread Museum in Whirligig Alley. See the famous streets along which so many heroes have walked, in some cases quite hurriedly!
As leading Ankh-Morpork entrepreneur C.M.O.T. Dibbler would say, A nip at any price - and that's cutting our own throat. Well, close.

Finally, you can get lost WITH a map!,
By
This review is from: The Streets of Ankh Morpork (Discworld) (Mass Market Paperback)
First of all the booklet here contains only the numbered key and explanations behind the production of the map--but this isn't too bad. Ankh-Morpork has been so thoroughly explored in so many books that it would be hard to put together a booklet sumarzing important things--though the Merchant Guild's famous guide (in full) or something put together by C.M.O.T. Dibbler would have been good.It was apparently a long process involving many revisions--but it was well worth it. It may not be perfect (but what map beyond the imagination is?) but it is darn close and now I'm ready to read through my next Discworld novel with the map close at hand to trace the route some characters travel. If you're at all into Discworld then you simply cannot pass up this map! The mapp of Lancre and Death's Domain may not be essential, but this one so illuminates the Disc's premier city that I would consider it essential for any true fan or devotee.

The map of the town of the stories,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Streets of Ankh Morpork (Discworld) (Mass Market Paperback)
This map allows you to see where in Ankh those places that your mind couldn't or wouldn't conceive are. Knowing where the places you read about are supposed to be, makes seeing the story in your head so much easier, or is that just me? The book that accompanies the map also complements the series very well.

For the devoted fan,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Streets of Ankh Morpork (Discworld) (Mass Market Paperback)
I was interested in this map, mainly because i wanted to compare what i pictured in my mind with what Terry Pratchett himself thought! it turned out that the two idea were remarkably similar! i like looking at it sometimes while i reread a book just so i can get the pictures in my mind clearer! (for some reason i like knowing where the Patrician's Palace is in relation to the action) but there is a limited amount you can do with a map except look at it or put it on the wall so this is a purchase strictly for the fans among you.
