Not only an artistic and breathtaking view of Lancre but also an interesting and informative guide to one of the Discworld's more, er, picturesque kingdoms.
Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick live there. Lancre could hardly be somwhere ordinary, could it?
Magic glues the Discworld together and a lot of it ends up in Lancre, principal Kingdom of the Ramtop Mountains. Between Uberwald and Whale Bay, the Octarine Grass Country and the Windersins Ocean lies the most exciting and dangerous terrain in all Discworld. The Ramtops supply Discworld with most of its witches and wizards. The leaves on the trees move even when there is no breeze. Rocks go for a stroll in the evening. Even the land, at times, seems alive.
The mapp may be only two-dimensional, but watch it very carefully and you might just see it jostle about a bit.

Lancre does not have quite the complexity of A-M for a start, and there's little about the books that makes you wish for a bit of geography to help you along (as opposed to the fascinating intellectual exercise involved in following Carrot, Cuddy etc. through the city streets) - so the map itself ends up as a wall poster. The book that comes with it is okay I suppose, but it's a bit of a one-joke comic.
So in conclusion, pretty but unessential.
However, if you are a Discworld fan, you will have to buy this book, so why are you reading this review?
