3.0 out of 5 stars Amusing enough but doesn't add a lot to the books, 11 Jul 2000
By A Customer
Terry Pratchett's worlds don't seem to need an encyclopedia and this is the encyclopedia they don't need. The interesting parts of this book for me were the sections other than the lexicographical listing of things from the books.
