Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The Fools' Guild of Ankh Morpork is a busy lot so it's not surprising they need this handy diary to help them keep track of their hectic schedule bringing joy and mirth into the hearts of the city's residents.

This is yet another of the ever increasing range of spin-off products spawned by Terry Pratchett's unstoppable Discworld series and serves both as a hilarious collectors item and fully functioning diary. Written by Pratchett and regular collaborator Stephen Briggs, it is the footnotes and introductory notes that make this worth the purchase as both authors squeeze some side splitting gags from very little space. Adverts, memos, excerpts from the Fools' Guild Rule Book and even mock exam papers for those hoping to become a qualified fool all sparkle with that special Pratchett magic:

Guild Memorandum 169/010--Bladders (the ones on a stick). Please note that there is NOT an endless supply of these items. In some countries they are considered a delicacy. From now on requests for a new bladder must be accompanied by the old bladder and form BR/RU/1a, countersigned by two senior members of Council. We are not made of money.

Guild Memorandum 1J4/783--Owing to the fracas on the fourth floor last night, all members are reminded that pushing another clown off the roof is allowable only if it is VERY FUNNY INDEED (ie. higher than 14 on the Shumann-Blinbko scale). DROLL, A BIT OF A LAUGH and QUITE AMUSING are not sufficient grounds and it is only because Sicko Sidney landed on a trampoline that certain Brothers are not facing a prolonged interview with the Bloody Fools.

The diary is liberally and beautifully illustrated by Paul Kidby, another Discworld regular, and it is a compulsory addition for the fans' ever growing collections. But who is going to want to spoil it by using it for its intended purpose? --Jonathan Weir --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
The latest in the highly-successful series of Discworld diaries, featuring extensive original material by Terry Pratchett. The Thieves' Guild celebrates its 21st anniversary with its first Yearbook, featuring an address from Lord Vetinari himself, who encouraged the setting-up of the Guild to avoid the random, unfair and disorganised crime which, until his ascent to power, plagued the great city of Ankh-Morpork. Now crime is legal, organised and run to an annual budget and everyone is happy - well, almost everyone: woe betide the unlicensed thief, highwayman or slipperlegger who tries to do business without Guild approval! Stunningly illustrated, as in previous years, by Paul Kidby.

5.0 out of 5 stars A yearbook worth looking at ^^, 4 Oct 2001
By A Customer
The 'Discworld Thieves' Guild Yearbook and Diary 2002' is exactly what it says. It's a yearbook with a description of the different thief ranks inside the guild (along with a nice introduction letter by none other than the beloved Lord Vetinari). I must say I do not like the front cover of the book but there are some pretty drawings on the first pages as well.
Also, as there are 8 days in a week on the Disk this yearbook also consists of 8 days, however the 8th day doesn't really count. Instead there's written a good advice or a short thief story in each 'column' of Octeday. For instance, you find out that a 'sawney hunter' is one who steals bacon. What? *Someone* has to do it!

As I am actually going to *use* this book as a yearbook I think it's great! It's interesting and nothing like those normal, boring yearbooks you can get everywhere. If you're a truly obsessed Terry Pratchett fan this is most likely worth buying as well even if you aren't going to use it, but if you're not really into T.P then you might not see it like I do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Encapsulates Pratchett's humour to perfection!, 28 Dec 2001
By A Customer
As usual, TP has focussed on one group of people on the Discworld and created a more vivid vision than in any individual 'novel' - Fantastic!!
Best Discworld diary this century!

3.0 out of 5 stars Following Unseen University, the Watch, and the Assassins, 2 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Discworld Fools' Guild Yearbook And Diary 2001 (Hardcover)
It is somewhat difficult to rate Pratchett's spin-off works form 1-5, simply because you also are required to do that when rating his novels, and rating a map, say, to a Discworld Novel is rather different matters indeed. Terry Pratchett has offered for us, in the year 2001, the Discworld Fools' Guild Yearbook and Diary 2001 to pursue such brilliant Pratchettian gems such as the Discworld Assassins' Guild Yearbook and Diary 2000, the Discworld's Ankh-Morpork City Watch Diary 1999, and the Discworld's Unseen University Diary 1998. The Fools are a Guild primarily made of clowns, jesters, and mimes (Vetinari is particularly chagrined about this). But unlike previous diaries, Pratchett and his reliably comic collaborator Stephen Briggs seem to be attempting to condense a brief dissertation on the Fools Guild's history, and thus seem a little absent of the prior hilarious Pratchett magic, which in a way can be easily comprehensible. UU, the Watch, and the Assassins all had in depth histories detailing them throughout the Discworld texts, so *those* diaries mainly helped to reiterate these with ineffably hysterical gags, but the Fools' Guild Diary only induced laughter in me once out loud (refer to Bouncy Normo) and throughout only received a few half-hearted chuckles and groans respectively. Is Pratchett losing his miraculous touch? Hell no, it's merely because providing a novel, a graphic novel, an anthology of critical essays, a calendar and a diary a year can water down even the Master's sense of humour. Briggs brings home some quirky one-liners too, but it was Kidby's illustrations which, essentially, made the diary for me...unfortunately, I don't purchase Pratchett to only admire Kidby. Keep on trucking, those men...
